Our Visit to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA

There is still so much summer time left to enjoy a visit to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA.  We were offered tickets to visit and we chose to make it a day trip from NY, but you could easily stay over and enjoy the area.

Enter through the castle and begin your magical day!

Visiting Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster

Dutch Wonderland is a 43-acre family amusement park with over 35 rides, Duke’s Lagoon water play area, Exploration Island, live entertainment, games and food. It might be smaller than other parks, but it was perfect for us to enjoy all it had to offer for all levels of thrill seekers in our group.  We went on a very hot day and had a very cool experience!

How excited was I to see that they offered Dole Whip!  This is definitely one of my favorite dessert treats.

 

Children riding Space Shuttle carnival ride

The Space Shuttle is one of my daughters’ favorites.  I think they went on 3 times!

Three children on spinning ride

I love classic rides and nothing can be more classic than the swings. The Flying Trapeze brought a cool breeze on a hot day as well as smiles from our group.

Another highlight of our visit was the Double Splash Log Flume.  Through the years, we have always had a great time on log flumes and this was a fun one!

Merlin’s Mayhem roller coaster was definitely a crowd-pleaser for our risk-takers.

 

When the heat of the day gets to you, head to Duke’s Lagoon for some cool off time in the water.  From the Pipeline Plunge tube slides to water-spilling park moments, you will have a blast.

Don’t forget to take some fun pics with the Dutch-inspired horse and buggy as well as the fellow Amish. Lancaster is home to Amish Country and there is so much to see and do too.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚
Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Mons Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Monster Cupcakes box.

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
