Better late than never!

Our town's homecoming/picinc was the first weekend in August (I know what your thinking, I'm just about 2 weeks late!) but as my taglag above says, "Better late than never" eh? Here is the crew walking into the park, Dan, Nick, Maddie (a lovely daughter of a friend of mine who we were watching!), Nana, Alyssa and Aunt Jackie (I think that is Jack in the background!) Papa Jack had money counting duty with his bank so he was there already and Uncle Steve was busy snapping a picture too (I think!)

Jack on the dragon rollercoaster, his first ride of the night!
Aunt Jackie and I pose amidst the fun. I'm shocked we look at good as we do....we were sweating like MAD!!! It was one hot and sticky night!
We went back on Saturday afternoon for more and Jack decided he would try some "big kid" rides with Maddie. This one was a bit too much of a big kid ride for me as I seriously thought he was going to fly out of it. I kept thinking the entire time that these rides travel of semis from state to state with some "interesting" folks moving and operating them. Of course Jack was fine, but I swayed him to steer clear of this ride! (I hope with a mom like me he doesn't wind up like a sissy!)

Maddie somehow convinced Aunt Jackie to get on this crazy hammerhead ride. What's sad is that when I was younger, I distinctly remember LOVING this ride, now, after the Holiday World experience I was not going to try even the swings!
The entire time all we heard was Jackie screaming, "Oh my gosh!" It was quite comical (see, I can say that because I was on the ground and able to take this picture!) She did survive though and even was gracious enough to let me get her picture with Maddie in front of the ride.
Alyssa was a bit nervous at first, but ended up going on the slide with Jackie (here) and Nana! Yeah, Alyssa!Maddie and Jack also enjoyed the slide!
We ended the day with a delicious funnel cake and some smaller slides (much more Nick's speed!!!)
