Holiday World

The most anticipated trip of the summer: Holiday World! When someone asked my kids “what do you have planned this summer” they would respond “we’re going to holiday world”. When Parker broke his foot his first question was “what about holiday world?”. When Matt’s family got covid , their first concern was “can we still go to holiday world?”

So mom planned it all for us, again, and we took off loaded down with all the things for our 3 night adventure. 

We stayed at Lake Rudolph’s campground. We rented a small cabin and parked the camper next to it. Mom and Dad slept with the kids in the camper and me , Philip, Matt and Rachel slept in the cabin. I’m not sure who had more room us or them lol 

We did lots of nature exploring but the kids wanted to be at the amusement and water park more this year than they did last. I think the fact they are taller and able to do more, helped. 

We got a golf cart and as seasoned campers now, knew to decorate it up. Plus it was Anna Beth’s birthday so the kids called it the “birthday balloon buggy”. 

It rained on and off some but it definitely didn’t dampen our fun. We rode the Raven with the big girls and AB decided roller coasters were not her jam. 

Parker and Millie however, wanted to ride everything  their little bodies were tall enough for. 

Parker’s foot was put to the test - walking miles and miles every day. So he got piggy backed a lot by Pop, Philip and Uncle Bubby and sometimes me:) 

The cousins had the time of their lives.

My heart got full of my family i love so much. 

The girls pulled out their park maps and planned out their rides for the next day. 









We rode alllll the rides. 










We had such a good time. The kids got to do all the rides they wanted to do, sometimes more than once. Parker got to do “the big toilet bowl” twice and Ainsley wore out the big slides.

This was the last year with the camper but what great memories it gave us the last couple of years. 

See you next year Lake Rudolph and Holiday World!
