We made our way down to Santa Claus, Indiana at the end of July for Mark's dad's family reunion. Lucky enough for us, it was very close to where my parents live and we were able to stay there and sneak in a visit. I almost peed my pants when Annie and Sam came out of a hide-n-seek spot wearing my mom's old wigs. Seriously- that is FUNNY!
On the Friday of our trip we made our way out to Morengo Caves, which is a 30 minute drive from my parents. It was awesome! It was 52 degrees in the caves and we had a 40 minute tour. Learning about stalagmites and stalactites. The highlight of the tour for me was when they turned off all the electric lights and we were really in total darkness. I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face. Amazing!
On Saturday we met other parts of the family and headed off to Holiday World Amusement Park. This park is the cleanest and the friendliest amusement park I have even been too. It was pretty hot on this day, so we spent the afternoon in the water park aspect to cool off! We couldn't stay too late thought because all of the family was meeting for dinner.
So here is 50 of the I don't know how many relatives there really are on my father in law's side of the family. It was a great weekend trip. I really enjoyed getting to know Mark's extended side of the family and Annie and Sam really had fun getting to know their second and third cousins!
