In addition to the Amish attractions, we went to Lancaster to go to Dutch Wonderland. It is basically an amusement park that caters to kids 6/7 and under....and since the kids are free until 3 we decided that this was the perfect time to go. We spent 2 "days" there - Saturday from 10 - 2 and then Monday from 10:30 - 3. The girls liked it on Saturday, but they really liked it on Monday. They were requesting rides and seemed to understand what it was all about more the second day. The favorite rides were the panda bears for Audrey and the little purple cars for Brooke (pictured below). D and I enjoyed the log flume, the roller coaster, and the bumper cars. None of us were fans of the Turtle Whirl. On Monday we also went to the water portion of the park. They have a big water slide - where you sit in a little raft and pop out at the end on a little conveyor belt rather than into water - and a bunch of splash/spray things. There are no pictures of this cause the camera was in the locker. But the girls really enjoyed this too.
In front of the entrance and on the merry-go-round (which I tried to discourage as you can do that anywhere, but I had no success with that).
With the mascot Duke and on the bulldozer ride - slowest ride ever - where they liked lifting the front end up and down.
Their favorite rides - though Brooke's choice is really not a ride as you move it with your feet. The panda bears had little buttons that you pushed that made buzzing noises and it spun around rather quickly.
The Haddens as Amish and moving across the park on the people mover.
D putting the girls onto the mini-ferris wheel and the HORRIBLE turtle whirl!

Did someone lose their lunch on the turtle whirl? Fun times nevertheless.
Great pictures!! Those buzzers on the panda bears were driving my crazy! I loved the water area there!
