Something Else From Dutch Wonderland

We stopped in the Dutch Wonderland cafeteria before heading out to the car to eat our packed lunch because it was air conditioned--the day we went it was SO hot all of us were just melting in the heat. While in there, R spotted this machine and started goofing off with it, and J decided to give the thing a shot. As a kid I remember never ever, not once, winning something from one of these machines but always wanting to try (not that I ever tried very often--I can't even remember doing them, really, just that they were everywhere). Anyway, they went for it. J controlled the thing but let R push the button to decide when the dinosaur's mouth would drop.

She ended up winning not just ONE, but TWO plastic dinosaurs. They were her favorite toys on the way home and I've actually been pleasantly surprised with how much she's enjoyed playing with them since then.
