Time with Family

I just got back last night from my mother-in-law's house. I drove up to her houes Thursday night so that I could spend the night with my niece. Friday we (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, niece and nephew) went to Holiday World. We all had a lot of fun. Angie and I went on a new wooden roller coaster called The Voyage. (If the first several free falls don't get you the gut wrenching turns and jerky motion of the cart will!). I don't think I'd care to go on it again. After that it was off to the water park. Angie and I went on one of the waterslides together. I can't remember what it was called but it was fun. Probably my favorite part of the water park was spending time in the wave pool with Kaity and Gabe. They had so much fun playing in the waves. I got a good work out too! I held my hands around kaity's waist and pushed her up when a wave came to keep her head above the water. We all went in the Lazy River for a while so that Gabe could take a nap. I assigned myself the task of keeping Angie and Gabe out of the sprinklers and waterfalls and away from rowdy swimmers. This allowed Gabe to sleep for about an hour. When we were done in the water park, we played some games. I won a big frog, Kaity won a tiger and we all combined our efforts in winning tickets playng ski ball to get 300 tickets so that Gabe could have a Bob the Builder stuffed toy. We finished our day off with funnel cakes (mmmm). By the time we got home everyone was VERY tired.

Yesterday we went to a wedding for one of Tony's cousin's. It was okay. There weren't many guests. We stayed and helped clean up when the reception was over. Debby usually assigns herself that task. I am sure that Vicky was very appreciative.

Today I have spent most of my time preparing everything for my trip to Arkansas. I just hope that I don't forget anything. I have been wearing my new hiking boots around today too in an effort to try to break them in before I have to use them for hiking.
