Trip to Dan Nicholas Park

Dan Nicholas Park is not too far away from us - just up I-85 in Salisbury. This place is rather incredible – a complete mecca for little ones! On the property – all within close and convenient walking distance (even for toddlers!) – are a nature center, a petting barn, a carousel, a toddler train ride thorough the woods, a gem mine, a putt-putt golf course, a huge playground, a large lake and a wildlife center with bears, wolves, foxes, etc.

Amazing! And everything just costs .50 cents to $1 each!

Ella and Aidan had a total blast! Aidan and Mike got to ride a train again while I held Ella who cried “All Done, Bye Train” as we waited.  They rode the carousel and checked out all of the animals (they LOVED the black bear and adored the baby pig!). 

They even tried out putt-putt for the first time.  All I can really say about that experience is that we now know not to spend money trying that at the beach this summer!  They really tried, but got bored rather quickly.

All in all it was a wonderful morning!  I didn't take many pictures on this outing - I just wanted to relax and enjoy the moment rather than trying to capture every moment on film.
