Holiday World!

Last Wednesday, we went down to southern Indiana to go to Holiday World.  I grew up going there (friendliest park in the world!), but Josh's family had never been.  We went down with his parents, both his sisters, and his aunt and uncle with their family.  Since I lived so close growing up, I had never stayed near to the park (we stayed at Lake Rudolph campground).  It was a very nice campground with lots of activities-most notably karaoke...Party P (Emilee's boyfriend) was very entertaining!
 
As soon as we arrived, the little ones had a bouncing party up in the loft.





Having a blast jumping on the beds.









It was the week of Caleb and Brittany's birthdays, so we celebrated them both.

Sophie eating some birthday cake.  Looks like she's winking at me-must be up to something.











On Thursday, we went over to Holiday World.  Dave isn't exactly tall enough to ride the bigger rides yet, but the nice man at the log ride let him get on (he was about an inch too short).  This was my absolute favorite ride growing up, so I was excited to share it with the kids.

Dave looking a little skeptical.












While the guys rode some roller coasters, Britt and I took the toddlers to the little kid part.  It was pretty much a bust, but Sophie really enjoyed the carousel. 

Loved the tiny horses.

The kids got a little hot, so we let them relax in the shade and have a snack while waiting for the dads.

Then it was on to the old time cars.  Josh operated the pedal while Dave steered.  It was a rough ride.












I didn't take any pictures once we entered the water park, which is where we spent most of the day.  The kids really enjoyed running around and it sure tired Dave out!

Back at the cabin, getting a little fishing in.

Caleb enjoying his birthday toy-so close to walking.













Friday morning, we got everything together and headed home.  Short trip, but we had a blast.  Big thank you to Josh's parents for funding the cabin!  It was great to have everybody together and just relax.
