Family Vacation





Yes, we spent too much money. Yes, we got caught in a serious thunder and lightning storm. Yes, all of our belongings were damp. Yes, we all came home with at least 50 bug bites. Yes, we had a great time.
We spent 5 nights and 5 days tent camping at Lincoln State Park. About a 5 minute drive from there is Holiday World. (Quick words of praise... unlimited free beverages, free sunscreen stations, free family photos, and very reasonably priced food and souvenirs!)We spent a blazing hot Monday, and a down pour Tuesday there.
Bethanie was one brave kid! She went on three big roller coasters. One of those Sean and Bethanie couldn't even talk me in to going on. (I am afraid of heights!)
Sadie went on the kiddie roller coaster about 32 times. Over and over and over again. She had a blast. Even Brady enjoyed his little plane rides and the carousel.
It was great spending some uninterrupted time together. That being said, we did leave one day early. The dirt, bugs, humidity, dampness, and neighbors who decided to shine their headlights in to our tent for an hour at late hours was enough for us. :)
I think the next time we go camping we want to go in an RV!

bug bites? Being damp? Torrents of rain? Dirt and then mud. Sounds fun to me.
