Discovery Day

It was Lucas and Nathan's first encounter with animals, cartoon characters and rides.  I think they hardly recognized what they saw and experienced, but at times it did bring smiles to their little faces.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is situated in Vallejo, California--only 25 miles and about 30 minutes drive from where we live.  We pass by this place often but we've never gone in because I thought this place was all about thrill rides, which I'm not very fond of.  But lately we discovered that this place offers a lot more.  They have an animal safari, a butterfly conservatory, rides for people of all ages and other entertainment that the family can enjoy.  They even have concerts on some days.  To me the place is like Sea World--only a bit smaller.

One day isn't enough to explore this whole place.  So we are definitely going back.  Oh yeah--the kids sure had a lot of fun (see photo below).

It wasn't just a day of fun, but a day of discovery as well.  I can't wait for when Lucas and Nathan are a bit older, when they can appreciate theme parks like this and enjoy them more!
