Return to Dutch Wonderland

Last year Barb and I took the kids to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to see the Amish.  While we were there, we took the kids to a little amusement park called Dutch Wonderland.  I absolutely loved everything about the Lancaster area, and vowed that I would return again this year.  So, once again Barb and I loaded up the kids and made the drive to Lancaster.  We weren't alone- Brian and Poppy decided to come, too.  I guess they didn't want to miss out on all the fun two years in a row.  Just like last year, we saw lots of Amish working the fields with their horses on the drive in and once again I was in awe at the beauty of this area of the country.  After an early lunch, we made a bee line for Dutch Wonderland.  This is one of Amusement Today's golden ticket recipients for "top 5" parks for kids.  It really is a nice park for young kids.  We spent a couple of hours riding the rides.  The kids were tall enough to ride everything this year- including the large "Kingdom Coaster".  We even got Poppy on some of the rides.  The kids also saw Princess Brooke and Prince Patrick (who has apparently died his hair brown- it was blonde last year...hmmm).   It was too cold to go to the water play area, but the kids still had a great time.  Dutch Wonderland definitely delivered- again.
