2010 Holiday World

Before we start our story to Holiday World, we just wanted everyone to know that there are two new blog posts. We had so many new pictures from the last week and a half that we had to make two postings. Now, back to our story.

Our annual trip to Holiday World was lots of fun. Josh is well over 36 inches this year so he was able to ride more rides. He still didn't like the kiddie roller coaster, but I can't blame him it is a bit rough. His favorite rides were the jeeps, cars and the train. The new water coaster is a lot of fun for us grown ups.



We were so sad for our week of camping to end, but in two weeks we will be heading to Alaska. WooHoo!




Josh proudly displaying his lighting bugs. (This was his first time catching them.) The next night we put a bunch in a container to look at them all light up - another summertime favorite. But per the rules, at the end of the day, anything we catch has to be let go.

Fishing in the kayak with a three year old in your lap is definitely tricky.


Josh was so excited to hold all the fish.


We caught the fish and now it's time to eat them.


Matt dusting off is filleting skills. I don't think the dust ever really did brush off.



Josh's first ride on the Turkey Whirl. He wasn't sure at first, but he liked it by the end.


Josh could not get enough of the old cars. I think we must have ridden them 4 dozen time over two days. We were to the point, by the end of the day when there were no lines, where we would just keep on driving after we got to the finish and start another lap.


Preparing to get soaked on the Raging Rapids! Josh thought it was HILARIOUS when the other girls in the raft would get splashed and scream. He would yell "OH NO, LOOK OUT!" and then laugh hysterically.


Josh was totally wiped out after the splash area. We checked a couple times to make sure he still had a pulse.



The alligator slide in the kiddie section was a huge hit.


Josh and Matt were racing down the slide. Who do you think won? They did this over and over and over. We were all wiped out after playing in the kids area.


Hitting the open road!
(AGAIN!)

The boys chillaxin' in the afternoon.


One of the things that Josh had been asking to do was catch butterflies. We found a patch of milkweed which was blooming and COVERED in butterflies. He was so excited to get an up close look at them. He also wanted to look them up in our insect guides to see which butterflies we had caught.



I had tried for quite awhile to catch a dragon fly without success. Matt was able to catch a couple. Josh thought that was pretty neat.



Look I have two!

I love the photo of him with the fish.
