Every September, we make a trip to Holiday World for my company picnic. It's a great day to go since the park is closed to the public. We weren't sure if we were going to make it this year. The Thursday before, Connor had a high fever that apparently was all he needed to "kick" whatever was ailing him and was fine by Friday morning. That Friday, Brady came down with flu-like symptoms that developed into a fever later in the day. By Saturday, the boys claimed to be 100% better and were not going to miss the Holiday World outing.
Since the weather was mild that day, we decided we would still go and take our chances. Plus, Claire had plans to spend the day with her grandparents. We arrived at Holiday World during some light sprinkles, but that soon passed and the rest of the day turned out to be beautiful. The boys rode their normal choice of rides. We spent an extended time in Hollidog Funtown, since we saw a friend that the boys played with for a little while. We ended the day in Reindeer Ranch, which is the perfect place to end the day. We saw several people we knew, the boys got several quick rides in, and the exit was in close proximity so no distractions on the way out.
We headed to get Claire and decided to prolong the day. Unsure of why we would torture ourselves this way..but we went to dinner with Mimi & Papa. The boys were as good as could be expected after a long day at Holiday World, but seemed to meet the approval of the wait staff as they gave the boys extra attention. We survived the day and had a relaxing Sunday to look forward to.
