I see you peeking
According to my SiteMeter, someone at Holiday World in beautiful Santa Claus, Indiana peeked at my blog this morning, the likely reason being my mention of the amusement park in yesterday's entry (Google Alerts rock). Let's see if they come back so they can see this:
Hello Holiday World folk! We love your amusement park and water park, and we can't wait to go there for frolicking family fun this coming weekend!
We haven't been there for three years, but the kids still remember just about everything from that trip. They both said this is their favorite ride at the amusement park (we rode it nonstop for almost an hour - the park employees didn't make us get off since it was the middle of the week and not many people were at the park):

And they've both said this is what they want to conquer at the water park on Saturday:
Ooh. I should get a couple of those disposable under-water cameras to take to the water parks. Or wait, put the digital camera in a Ziploc bag so we can have JungleRacerCam and ZingaCam! Imagine the rockin' videos we'd get. And imagine the broken camera we'd end up with.
Speaking of getting stuff/bringing stuff, I'm wondering....when I go on a trip, I take very little. It doesn't occur to me to bring a lot of "stuff" and when I see others with stuff, sometimes I think "what a great idea!" and other times I think "who wants to lug that crap around?" Like at Wigwam Village in Cave City - I saw people sitting around the playground area in those portable chair things. Those look handy but I'd never think to buy or bring one. Or if we're going somewhere that's a few hours away - I know people who pack big coolers of snacks and drinks (complete with ice) and stacks of kid-distracting activities for such a journey. I don't do that; I don't want to haul that around, and dump the melted ice, etc. etc. Grab a bottle of water, a bag of Cheetos, a bag of M&M's and off we go. Those are just a couple of examples, but....y'know what I mean? And I don't mean to imply that I think those who do bring those things on their travels shouldn't - it's a preference thing. It's kinda like the carrying-a-purse thing...I'd rather not lug extraneous stuff. So lemme ask: what do You People bring when you go on trips?
