Holiday World

Brycen on our way!
B and Ryan on the old cars-- B picked daddy to help him drive... I was just a tad jealous ;)

But he picked me to ride w/ on the bumper cars (b/c he wanted to crash Daddy!).


B and Daddy on the train.

B-- have to take this picture every year, right?!
Wednesday was my day off (as usual) and Ryan took off so we could go to Holiday World. It was perfect weather and no crowds! Ran into a blog friend in the parking lot too :) Crazy small world! We had a blast and enjoyed every minute. Ate a lot, swam a lot, and got home late! :)
Water park is by far our favorite. I'm so glad it's B's fave too, b/c it's def. always been mine! haha! But he seriously loved it! Last year he loved the big water slides, but not the ones that were closed in. Before we went this year he said " I want to go on the big water slides,but not the covered up ones." He is a big claustrophobic (doesn't like ppl holding him too tight or holding him down, he really freaks out) so I figured that was why he didn't like them. Well, when we got down to the water park we did the lazy river and the watubee, then he saw Ottorongo and said, "hey I want to go on those!". I told him they were closed in and he still wanted to go... We got our float and went up the stairs... I just knew at any minute he was going to flip out and decide he didn't want to, but baby boy surprised me and we went... on all three... three different times! They were by far his favorite! We did pretty much everything there was to do at the water park, I don't have pictures b/c since it was just us three we did all the rides/slides together! We had an absolute blast! Each time we would get off a ride/slide B would say, "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!" and then proceed to do a fist pump in the air! lol. He cracks me up!
A sweet little brotherly note (in case Corbin ever reads this blog). Before we left I said, "Aren't you excited to spend the day with momma and daddy all by yourself?". I figured he would be all about it! Oh no, he said, "No, the reason I don't know if I want to go to Holiday World is because I will miss Corbin too much. I don't want to go if he can't go.". Okay, melt my heart right there! I explained to him that baby brother wouldn't have any fun yet b/c he is too little and then we wouldn't all be able to ride rides together. When it was the end of the day I said, "See wasn't that fun to have momma and daddy all to yourself all day?". I thought surely he changed his mind after all this fun, but low and behold, he said, "No, I miss Corbin, let's go home and see him!" :)

What a fun day for just the 3 of you! Braylee didn't like the closed in tubes last year either...and she's already said she won't do them tomorrow so we'll see.

Sounds like you all had a blast! I don't like the closed in slides either, B is brave! He is also the best big brother ever!

What a fun day! I LOVE holiday world, and last year I was too pregnant to enjoy it, so I am ready to go this year. I can't wait until my little man is old enough to go too. Happy Summer!
XOXO,
Beth
