Holiday World!

It had been a rough week with my dad in the hospital from Tuesday to Saturday...  It started with a simple nose bleed but the nose bleed wouldn't stop so dad took himself to the ER (yay Dad) and ended up being ambulanced to Central Baptist Hospital.  His platelet count was in the 30K range and was supposed to be between 150K and 400K.  To make a long story short, after numerous tests it seems that maybe it was just an infection attacking his blood.  They were concerned that he could have leukemia but after checking his bone marrow, that was ruled out thankfully.  Several other cancers were also ruled out and it seems to be a bit of a mystery still.  We are just very thankful that he seems to be on the mend.

After feeling relieved that Dad was out of the hospital, we took our trip to Holiday World on Sunday (we had originally planned to go on Wednesday).  That place is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!  I can't wait to go back!  We spent 9 hours at the park--3 hours riding rides and then 6 hours at the water park and the time flew by!

My sister's family went with us and the kids had a BLAST.  The guys (Craig, Randy, and Austin) did a lot of the bigger water slides while Lyndi and I stayed in kiddie land with the kids.  That was fine with me though.  I still had so much fun!  Lyndi and I did get to ride some of the bigger water slides later in the day while the guys took care of the kiddos.  It was just a blast!  I definitely want to go back before summer ends!

Addi slept the whole car ride home--it was the best kind of exhaustion! 

Honking the Indian's nose, lol!

Asleep before we could get to the car--on our way out!
