Holiday World

standing in line for a ride
- We decided to do Holiday World our first day and Splashin' Safari the second day. That worked well for us since there was no running back and forth between parks.

- The best advice I think I received was to get a wagon for Jack. It seems like he should be old enough to walk, but after a while, I'm sure the whining would have set in. It was a pain to haul that wagon everywhere, but we couldn't have lived without it.

-Holiday World has earned it's reputation for being super clean and super friendly!


they are holding their King Tut "beards"????

- It turns out that Parker is terrified of roller coasters. Not that he actually ever got on one, but the very thought of going on one made him a nervous wreck. Jack would have loved to have gone, but he's not big enough yet.

-I still can't ride anything that spins around. I tried.

- I lost count of how many times we rode the Ragin' River (or Rapids) whatever it's called.

- I forgot how much time you spend standing in lines at an amusement park. That bites.

- Free drinks is a very good thing.

- It is very fun to people watch while waiting for the rest of your family to get off of a ride.

- It is even more fun to have a phone with internet access while you wait for your family to get off a ride!


Jack insisted on riding this "Indian" boat but wanted Parker with him.

-The second day, we went to the water park. Unfortunately, it was cold and overcast and rained a little.

- Parker and Jack have no interest in big water slides.

- They did have a ton of fun on the smaller slides but they were freezing so they didn't last long.

- 3 nights of no sleep and eating junk took a very unpleasant toll on me. I spent most of our second day running from bathroom to bathroom. UGHHHHH..........

- I hope we can go back to Holiday World when they boys get a little bit bigger and can do more on their own.

- If you are anywhere near Holiday World, I highly recommend it!

- Thanks to Heather for her great local tips and thanks to Angie for giving me 2 tickets!

I'm glad you had a great time!

I am LOLing that Lindsay would have done the biggest ride there if she was big enough. However, I know she doesnt get that from me, i am sitting on the bench with Parker and not enjoying coasters!
