Our Two Day Vacation

With Mommy doing summer tutoring and making a week trip to Oklahoma, our family of 5 didn't get a lot of time to plan a family vacation. So, we surprised the kids with a 2 day trip to Holiday World! We had never been to Santa Claus, Indiana, but had heard wonderful things about the water park/ theme park that was actually affordable!  We stayed in the Best Western 15 minutes away from the park in Dale, Indiana.  Even though the hotel was nice, we couldn't find was a decent restaurant! Luckily, we found . . . a Mexican restaurant.

At the restaurant we told the girls we were going to Holiday World!

Away we go.........

Mommy and Chloe started off the day with the HallowSwings in Halloween that were only for 52" and taller riders. Next, it was Daddy's turn to ride the first roller coaster with Chloe.  They rode the Legend and Chloe screamed, "that was wicked!" as she got off! 

Cami, Koda and I went off to Christmas to play in Reindeer Land.

Daddy and Chloe met up with us and we headed for Thanksgiving!

There we found Salmon swimming and Canoes for the Indians!  Don't be fooled by the kiddie rides.  This park had the BEST roller coasters Chris and I had ever been on!  The Voyage was by far the scariest and longest ride I had ever been on.

 In July 4th, the girls and Daddy went up, up, up on the Sparkler! 

We decided it was hot enough to head to the water park where Daddy and the girls rode 4 water rides, then Mommy got to ride two BIG water rides with the girls.  The Mammoth water ride is the longest ride in the world! While the girls were off with Mommy or Daddy, Koda had a blast in the Crocodile Isle with slides just his size!  As you can expect, we couldn't take cameras in the water, so we only had a few shots in the Water Safari. . . .

At the end of the day, we all wish we had a stroller. 

I wish we could take pictures of all the wonderful memories we had at Holiday World! We will definitely be making the 3 1/2 hour trip again and again!
