March 2008
In December 2007, we went to the Christmas show at the American Music Theatre. While there, we heard that Jack Hanna would be coming there a few months later. We promptly ordered tickets for that show. It was really fun to see him and his animals in person after so many years of watching him on television. The only sad thing is that my father, who taught me everything I know about animals wasn't there with us. We also went to dinner at a fantastic Amish restaurant. It was called The Family Cupboard.
Getting to the theatre is a fun trip in itself. Rolling hills and Amish farms make it a scenic journey.

Dutch Wonderland is a place that brings back many memories of trips to Lancaster with my grandparents. That is the monorail track in the front.

It might look like a lawn ornament, but that's a real flamingo
Crocodiles & alligators, oh my!
Maybe the dingo ate your baby. And now it's on stage.

That's a bearcat and boy is it unique

Just in time for Easter, it's a giant hare
I'm glad they got the hare out of sight before this snake made its entrance.
We were told to make no fast moves when this cheetah came out. Luckily no one was eaten.
