York's Wild Kindom

A week or so ago we took the kids up to Maine to visit York's Wild Animal Kingdom. The park was made up of half zoo and half amusement rides. Seeing as Arianna likes a little more laid back atmosphere, we thought that she would just be interested in the zoo and not the fast rides. We thought that Rylan, who is more of a dare devil, would be the opposite. It goes to show how much children constantly change as Arianna ended up wanting to just zip through the zoo to get to the ride portion of the park. Rylan, on the other hand, seemed as if he wanted to soak in everything the zoo had to offer. He loved checking out all of the animals and really wanted to just take his time and relax. By the time we reached the rides, Arianna enthusiastically jumped on as many rip roaring rides as she could while Rylan screamed his little lungs out in protest of doing anything that seemed risky. We seemed to be at the park for the entire day and I think that Ryan and I were more exhausted than the kids were. All in all, it was a great day and we can't wait to go back when we have a bit more energy.
