Summer 2015 Vacation--Part 4 (Marineland & Bird Kingdom)

Since we had a few days to spend in Niagara Falls, Mike really wanted to take the kids to Marineland...not because it is the best theme park around, but because he went there as a kid and has fond memories of it.

I don't think the animal exhibits were this great when he was a kid!  I could not believe how close you could get to the bears and the deer!!  So cool.  You could actually feed both the bears and the deer.

The marine show was great too...almost as good as SeaWorld.  

Summer went on her first roller coaster...can you see her little head sitting next to me?  She was way too small and I shouldn't have taken her on...she didn't like it one bit.

 There were no lines for some one the rides, so they could just run off and then right back on again.  They loved the swings, and we had to force them to leave after 4 times!  I think they rode the "Tea Cups" ride about 4 times too!

 And then there was this one...Jordan had to find someone to go with her because we were all too chicken, but Dad finally agreed.  They LOVED it--crazies!

 

We also did The Bird Kingdom in Niagara, which was a little less exciting...but we got to hold birds!!
