Indiana Beach

So last Saturday morning, even though it was bitter cold out and overcast, we headed to Indiana Beach from 11am-2pm. Elijah worked very hard this year in reading books to win a free pass for two guests and 1/2 priced passes for up to 4 guests to Indiana Beach. He accomplished his goal and won his pass. The down side to this is that they give you TWO weekends(saturday and sunday) to use it otherwise it expires. The first weekend we were not around and the second weekend we were busy as well and it was COLD, but we went ahead and squeezed it in since Elijah was so excited to go. The boys got to ride all the rides they wanted to at least once and then they each got to pick their favorite and ride it again. As we were standing in line for the Cornball Express Rollercoaster(Caden's favorite) the Indiana Beach Mascot came up to us. Caden was super excited and kept touching him and rubbing him. It was pretty funny. Here is a picture of the two boys with the Mascot.
While we waited in line for the huge ride that drops you(forget the name), they have this little frog hopper ride next to it. Anyone can ride it as long as they can sit up alone. So on we all went(minus nick) to see how Liam adjusted to his first ride. He wasn't so sure about it as the bar came down, but as we went up in the air and then it dropped us he had the biggest open smile he could have. No TEARS, just excitment. I was so glad he enjoyed his first "big" ride. If you notice...I barely fit....tight squeeze for sure. Here is Liam getting buckled into the ride...a bit unsure of it:).
Im sure we will go to Indiana Beach many more times here this year since we live 15 minutes from there. They boys sure do love it, but man, it doesn't compare in ANY way to what we are use to and that is Dollywood and Splash Country in Knoxville, TN!!! (I miss that place:))
