In keeping with a tradition we started last year, we planned another weekend trip with our friends from Butler, the Antcliffs. This year we decided to head to Holiday World to enjoy the water park and rides. The kids had a blast! Ella decided to follow suite with dare devil Miss Claudia and went on a ton of rides, and loved the octupus the best! She was still a little hesitant of the water slides, but loved the lazy river and wave pool. Cole had a great time playing in the wave pool as well as a "kiddie" area where he could ride all of the rides. Every one of them he would ride with his arms up in the air the entire time. It was hysterical! We stayed in adjoining hotel rooms and the girls, with Cole tagging along, played and played. They all got along so well!! Sadly, my camera hiatis lingered and this is the only picture I have of the whole weekend. Check facebook because, thank goodness, the Antcliffs were better at picture taking than I was! (on a side note, I am feeling pretty guilty about not having more pictures so expect many more to come!)
We enjoyed Holiday Worlds fireworks from our car in the parking lot, which was a great idea...we avoided the huge crowds and traffic getting out of the park...and Ella thought "they were so magical!" Super dramatic as always!!
If anyone is looking for an easy something to do...it only took us about 3 hours and the place was really pretty nice. If you can get past the cliental of a mix between Indiana State Fair and Jerry Springer! It was clean, free drinks, sunscreen stations, and lots for little ones to do...its great!
Ella and Claudia in the stars and stripes! Cole was refusing to have his picture taken!!!
