That's how Lily described Dutch Wonderland, which is an amusement park up in Lancaster, PA where all the rides are just for kids. (Or as the promotional brochure says, "Where Kids Rule!")
But first on our road trip, we stopped to have family-style lunch in Amish Country. Complete with chow chow, fried chicken, and shoofly pie, it was delicious! Plus we met some lovely people at our table.
Then, to set up our tent at the campground, which we shared with a herd of cattle.
Highly amoosing to our city girls.
Amalia really enjoyed the tent and her new birthday gift sleeping bag.

Morning glories. I kept having to remind the girls about "quiet hours" at the campground. Apparently the country air turns them into early birds.
Ah, story time at Dutch Wonderland. It's a good thing Lancaster is so far away from Anaheim. Otherwise, I think they might have some copyright infringement issues on their hands. Right down to the music they were playing in the park.
Andy obviously took this picture. I've no explanation for my expression. The ride was not at all worthy of it.
Steering cutie.
Same.
This Hannibal Lecter-looking ride was one of their favorites. It's called "Wonder Whip," and would whirl the cars around each of the ends of the track.
Amalia rode it three times.
And true to form, we did see many horse-drawn buggies while driving around Amish Country. So the replica at Dutch Wonderland was a sure bet.
A good camping/road trip to cap a pretty nice summer. School starts tomorrow!
