Holiday World

Adam, Ella, and I went to Holiday World yesterday. It was the perfect day, because it wasn't too hot or too crowded. Adam was able to go with us since it was a weekend so that made it extra special for Ella. She loves when the three of us go anywhere together. 
This was probably one of our last trips to Holiday World this year. This summer flew by! I was thinking back to opening day when Ella and I went in the POURING rain. That seems like ages ago. Ella and I love Holiday World. We are lucky we get to go as many times as we do. Can't wait until next year! 

 This ride freaks me out. ;) 

Smothers Park

My mom and I took the girls to Smothers Park in Owensboro this past Thursday. It was probably the biggest, cleanest playground I have ever been to. There was every kind of slide imaginable. Different types of things to climb on, and fountains to splash in. It is a super nice playground. If you haven't been you need to go. It is well worth the short drive from here. 
These trees were really neat. I think they had three of four. There were animal statues sitting on and hanging from the branches. The girls like sitting inside them and pretending they were their home. 

Ella was not as thrilled with the fountains as Autumn was. Ella thought it was too cold, even though it was at least 90 outside. 

At lunchtime we headed to McDonalds to eat some lunch and cool down. It was so hot out on Thursday. The girls of course requested that we go back to the playground so that is what we did after we ate. 

I won't even mention what I had to go through just to get a picture of these two. Ella was not having it, but she eventually decided to cooperate for one picture. :)
