Once I found out we could go to Holiday World on opening day for free by participating in the JDRF walk, I said sign us up! I knew my boys would love to kick off the summer with a Holiday World outing as they had already been asking for months. What was even better was that our friends, the Johnsons, would also be there that day. Yay - the boys could ride rides with their best friend!
Since I was up for the outing by mid-May, we decided to make an outing with just the boys. Claire got to spend the day with Mimi, which I am sure included a lot of cuddling. She loved showing them how she has started interacting socially with her cooing and smiles.
The three boys (and the adults) had a blast, notwithstanding a few preschool meltdowns over which person they could ride with next, who was walking too close, or what ride to ride next. To make an even riding group, usually an adult always rode with the boys and there were several negotiations throughout the day. We even found a ride we didn't know was there...the Gobbler Getaway which was a dark turkey hunting ride. The boys said that was their favorite ride! Chris and Ben decided they needed to check out Pilgrim's Plunge since there was no line (since everyone was on the new Wildebeest) and they got SOAKED! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day - the sun was shining, temps were in the 70s and we only had a 20 minute rain shower. I can't wait to return with the boys (and maybe Claire) later in the summer...next year, we may have to consider purchasing season passes and make a monthly visit.
