Dutch Wonderland!

Last Saturday we spent the day in Dutch Wonderland just outside of Lancaster, PA.  (How did the week get away from me?)
What a fun day!  We got there at 10:00 and if we had let her, Jocelyn would have closed the park!
We started the day with a train ride.
Then Jocelyn decided to go straight for the Turtle ride!  Daddy gets motion sick, so there was no way he was getting on there, so that left me to go on it with her.  Yippee.  Essentially this is the old fashioned tea cup ride with an update.  The turtle spins AND the ride goes in circles.  I was shocked that she wanted to try it, but somewhere in the last few months, Jocelyn has turned into a daredevil!! 

We went from there to driving a car.  Yes, Jocelyn is driving.  We'll be going to the MVA for her Learner's Permit next week.  Ha!
Then the slide (which I lost count how many trips she took down that slide) and the monster truck.  Yeah!  We let her drive again...  Daddy seems worried....  I can't imagine why!












We took a leisurely boat ride....  3 times...
And then we were off to the water park!








Including multiple trips down the tunnel water slide!
We ended the day with a few trips on the log ride.  We spent way too much money on the park photo, but what the heck!
Jocelyn had an absolute blast!  At 6:00 pm, the parents decided we were toast.  It was time to go.  We put Jocelyn in her stroller and went straight for the exit.  If we had hesitated for a second, I think we would have lost her to another 20 rides!!!  We had to tell her "Yes, we will go again another day".  It was the only way to get her out of there!

  3. I'm SO glad you had a blast! We enjoyed it so much with Josh as a youngster, and even Jillian has been once or twice, I was really worried when I had heard about them being under new management. Phew!!!
