2 oldest are finally both big enough for quite a few kiddie rides at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. So we have been planning to take the boys tomorrow before school starts back next week. It is about a 2.5 hour drive. Boy am I glad I checked THEIR website for the weather forecast. TODAY was the last weekday they are open for the season!!

That was providential. Shooting Wally in the leg is funny but criminal.

Awwww, too bad - then we could have seen you hold up the park ranger and get rides anyway!

Well, it's not about the destination. It's the journey. The traffic, the fast food stops, the bathroom breaks, fighting in the car, Aunt Edna on the roof,...

Holiday a World!! Glad you didn't show up to a closed park, but sucks you guys didn't make it out. It's crazy, though, I was just talking to my co-worker today about my family in Southern IN. We looked at houses for sale around Christmas Lake and such, then I brought up Holiday World. She thought it sounded really cool. Do they still do free sodas and sunscreen (water park)? Been awhile since I've been out from CA, but would like to take my kids next time we go out.

Well, I'm glad that our youngest (of six) will now be a junior in high school starting next week...... And that I never wore really short shorts (except when I played basketball in high school in the late 70's).

They still advertise free soda, sunscreen, and parking. I have never actually been. I am from Cincy and always went to Kings Island. The oldest are 5 and 3 so we figured we would try a smaller amusement park for the first time. But ohh well. I work weekends for awhile so Disney in November will be their amusement park break in.

Oh ya from what I remember it's a fun place, if you get another chance to get out there. My kids are 6 and 3 so I'm right there with you. We live about an hour from Disneyland/California Adventure, so the kids have been a couple times and love both. Planning on Disneyland or Disney World?
