Happy Hollow Finally Re-Opens!

      The day has finally come! Happy Hollow Park and Zoo, the stuff my childhood was made of, has re-opened after 2 loooooong years! I've taken Cameron before, and Dillon went 2 years ago when he was just a baby, but now it's totally renovated which is wonderful but totally PACKED full of people, which isn't. I'm hoping the thrill dies down and people find something else to do :) Sorry, complaining over.
      There is a petting zoo right when you walk in the gates, complete with triplet baby goats that were born the day before we got there! You couldn't pet them, they were in an enclosure but they were right in front of you. I was amazed at how tiny they were! (There's only 2 in the pic btw... the other one was off with it's mommy)

       The kids got to pet the goats, feed the goats, and since it was so hot, brush the goats with wet brushes. The ratio of kids to goats was like 1 to 20, but somehow Dillon managed to get a brush and a goat :) That's my boy!

Next we headed to the playground while Cam waited in line right behind us for the roller coaster (an hour wait!) It was a huge wood play structure, really cool! Here's the scene:Dillon was King of the Mountain...

And King of Another Slightly Smaller Mountain....

Climbing through the tunnels....

Cam waiting in line for the roller coaster... Of course my camera died as I tried to take a pic of him actually on the roller coaster. This one turned out well enough for me to not be mad :)

Dillon sitting in the shade waiting for Cam to get off the roller coaster, he was SO exhausted!

I leave you with a great pic of the boys. At the entrance/exit they had gold statues and the kids ran right over, posed and asked for a picture. Niiiiiice!

We bought season passes so you know you'll be seeing many more pics from Happy Hollow. We only got to one ride and a few animals, we have days worth of adventuring to go!
