Girls Day Out at Dutch Wonderland
Today was Girls Day Out at Dutch Wonderland for Victoria and I. Jeff still had to work but it was a summer hours day for me. It was such a nice day and since it was a weekday we thought the park wouldn't be too crowded. So I packed us up, set up Monster Inc in the DVD player and we headed down 202 to Rt 30 for Dutch Wonderland.
Turns out that was a good idea. It wasn't crowded at all.
Here we are just entering the park and heading down to the Mill Stream Eatery for lunch. Victoria had to stop off and pose in the cutouts. She was a little disappointed that there was another little girl there who poked her head through the princess before Victoria could.
The Mill Stream Eatery is our favorite place to eat. Victoria can get a kids meal of an Uncrustable sandwich, apple sauce, chips, and a cookie with a souvenir cup. I can get a chicken sandwich with french fries. For the two of us it wasn't too bad this time around. I think I spent $13 for lunch. Okay... that's expensive for everyday eating. But it's not bad for being in an amusement park.
What's even better is that she actually eats lunch. We negotiated on the cookie and chips. She had to eat the Uncrustable and some apple sauce before she got the cookie. She had to eat more apple sauce to get some chips. She ate all the Uncrustable and apple sauce, got the cookie, and ate some but not all of the chips.
Victoria wanted to ride a couple rides on our way over to Dukes Lagoon. The Panda Party and Dukes Dozers were on our way. She was really excited to get on the Panda Party because there was no line. She wasn't so happy when the ride started. The little girl behind her kept her finger on the buzzer for almost the entire ride. It was loud for me outside the fence so I imagine it was too much for Victoria in the car with her. I saw her cover her ears for a while. She didn't complain though but she ran over to Dukes Dozers pretty quick.
There isn't much to Dukes Dozers. It's actually a pretty slow ride that goes around in a circle a couple times. She likes moving the blade or the loader up and down using the controls.
