Once again, we did our annual Holiday World trip to Santa Claus, IN! The kids look forward to this trip so much, as do the adults!! We all gathered together (Grammy, Pappy, Mommy, Daddy, & Bruce's) to discuss the menu and who was bringing what! We had some delicious food and well deserved beverages!
There was time to swim, play, eat, and just spend quality time together as family and friends!
The kids (and Grammy!) always look forward to decorating our golf carts! This year, we jazzed it up a bit and added some lights!
Our campers were quite a bit closer than they have been in the past, which was great. This might have been our favorite spot that we've had since we started our tradition!
The weather wasn't as great as it's been past years, but we made the most of it! The kids still enjoyed doing sparklers, making a banana chocolate dessert campfire style, and running around splashing in puddles. For those of you who know Max well....you can ONLY imagine what he looked like after playing in the puddles and eating chocolate. Disaster (but who cares!?!).
Due do storms coming in, we almost bailed out on the Holiday World idea. Luckily, the hubby's weren't backing down and talked us into going. We ended up having decent weather, just a few sprinkles. It wasn't as warm as we would've liked it to be, but we couldn't complain! The look on the kids' faces when we said we might not go was pathetic, so we took the plunge and went!
and we are so glad we did!
(Aren't hubby's so smart!?!)
Riding rides, splashing around, eating ice cream....but most of all, being with family!
Laney's favorite ride this year was the Drop Tower (not sure of the exact name). This ride was "kiddie sized" which was PERFECT for her. She called it the "Mini Tower of Terror"
(reference Disney World experience)
Max absolutely LOVED the roller coaster! He is still talking about the Doggie roller coaster at Holiday World!
HANDS UP!! WOOHOOO
All in all, it was a fantastic trip, as usual! We are all 'jumping' at the chance to go again next year!
