~ A WEEKEND OF FUN! ~

well, friday afternoon we picked up a good friend of brits (ashley) & headed off to indiana beach ~ my parents were following us & so we all got there at the same time, checked in & started setting up ~ after getting everything done, we ordered pizzas, sat around a campfire & then turned in for the night (or morning? as it was after midnight!) ~ we got up the next morning, got ready & headed for indiana beach's amusement park ~ we let brit & ashley walk around by themselves, but checked in with them (or them with us) about every 30 minutes ~ we took the girls on all kinds of kiddie rides, which they loved! ~ spike & dad enjoyed riding their rides too (oh wait, their rides were watching the strollers for mom & i while we took the girls on kiddie rides - hehe) ~ after that we all took a train ride around the park in which there was a bit of a 'scuffle' at the back of the little train ride between a couple grown men ~ 1 of the men & his wife were trying to go through the exit in order to ride this train & the other man, who'd been waiting in a very long HOT line, wasn't going to let it happen ~ we were all getting so tickled, listening to it all ~ we're all still laughing about the 'argument about the little train ride' - hehe ~ late in the evening (saturday), we met up with ashley's parents, who'd decided to bring their youngest daughter 9y (anna) up for just the afternoon/evening ~ we all had dinner together & it was very nice ~ we then got a call from dustin that he was coming up due to boredom ~ we arrived & stayed in our camper as the girls were sleeping in with my parents ~ we all got up today (sunday), packed up & drove home, stopping at golden corral for lunch ~ since arriving home, we've got laundry going, kids in bed, things put away, etc. ~ i'm not done, but not far off! ~ here's some pictures from the weekend trip ~ i'll post some of brit, ashley & dustin when i get them, as they're on mom's camera!
