On Monday everyone took some time off of work and we traveled with the whole family to Dutch Wonderland Theme Park,and Kitchen Kettle Village in Lancaster, PA which is about an hour and a half away from us. We arrived right as they opened the gates at 10 AM, and went to the water park first. Alex loved this part of the park, as did all of the kids, because it was so hot outside and they had so many little water sprinklers and slides for older kids. Alex started out in the toddler area, and played in their big sand castle water sprinkler for awhile,before exploring some other areas then eventually just running around enjoying his freedom! LOL. Dylan and Daniel coaxed their Uncle David and Uncle Abe to go down some huge tunnel slides with them,and I think Uncle David was fine, but I'm sure their Uncle Abe didn't want a part of those again! I wanted to go down them so bad, couldn't because of being pregnant---definitely next summer though! :) After eating lunch,which was delivered to our cabana Mary rented (Great idea if you're heading to DW anytime soon!) We went with Mary and Dave and took Alex, Julia, and Matthew to the rides. Matthew went right for the rides,but since the two toddlers were missing a naptime, both fell asleep in their strollers before they could really get on much. Once Alex woke up though,we were able to take him on some rides. His favorite was the boats that he could pretend to drive. He loved those,and we went on 3 times! That night we ate dinner at an awesome buffet,where they served home cooked food--it actually reminded me of my Mom and Grandma's cooking. The next day we went to a viallage called Kitchen Kettle Village,where they had shops, buggy rides,and a petting zoo. Alex enjoyed the petting zoo,and just strolling around the shops. When we came home Tuesday, we realized we have less than 4 months before our daughter arrives,so we have started kicking it into high gear to get her room ready and get the house ready--it's one thing after another! Enjoy some of our shots from DW!
