christmas in july

i wish i had a picture, but i think we only took one and you can find it at hubby's blog.

anyways - we had christmas in july this week at holiday world. my parents take the whole clan to this great park. we camp and enjoy the family time while living it up in holiday world - complete with a real santa!!!

this is our 3rd trip there and it gets better every year. it might have something to do with the ages of my kids each time, but this year was way fun! mapboy and i rode a few slides with his cousin. princess opted for the wave pool with daddy. we did the kiddy rides in the amusement side and filled 3 rafts on the waging waters ride. '

the second day, princess wanted to return to the wave pool and mapboy wanted to brave the bigger slides. so mapboy headed off with the cousins and princess and i did the wave pool, again.
mapboy had a great time!! he did the big kid slides and princess and i had a great time together, just the two of us.


so....we are all tired and recuping. the kids have slept in and so have i.

thanks so much grandpa and grandma! it was a blast!!!!!
