Oh boy! A Road Trip!

With a beautiful weekend forecasted, we decided to pick up our nieces and pack the tent and dog and head down to Lincoln State Park. It is in Southern Indiana, about an hour west of Louisville, and 5 minutes from Holiday World, home of the #1 wooden Roller coaster on the planet and an awesome water park! So, of course we had to go to Holiday World....what an awesome park. It has to be the cleanest park, and is such a perfect place to take the family! With tickets being only $35 (with a Pepsi Can), you get access to the amusement park and water park, free sunscreen, all you can drink Pepsi beverages. Food is so affordable (5 of us had a BIG lunch for less than $30, and each had ice cream with sprinkles for less than $10!). Also, you can bring your dog, and leave them in the Holidog Inn (=AC dog kennel and you can come back and say hi to your dog throughout the day!) for only $10! The park was a blast! Tony took a really cool video while he was riding the Voyage. I'll try to get it uploaded to Youtube.

Sanders did pretty good camping. He loved all the smells and getting to sleep in the tent with the 5 of us. We had Pizza Pudgy Pies that Cyndi taught us how to make. We only burnt the first 2 :). And, we all learned that cast iron will get completely red and hot if left in the fire! Those are the pudgy pie irons in the picture below!!!! Weird how they're glowing, isn't it?

It was funny when we took him on walks. He looks like a little bear cub being walked around on a leash....check out the picture of him:
And the picture of the baby bear cubs we saw a few years ago in Sequoia National Park:
They look related, don't they?

A week ago, we went to Rod and Carissa's house for a wonderful dinner. We brought Sanders over to play with Heather's dog....and they had a blast!
