Paradise--Wed, July 14

****WARNING PICTURE OVER LOAD*****

( I took over 206 pictures and it's hard to narrow down, there are too many cute ones not to share, these next 4 days of blogging will have lots of pictures. Don't say that I didn't warn you! Read at your own risk!!

The kids and I arrived at Paradise on Wednesday the 14th and joined in the fun that had been happening since Saturday afternoon. I hated that we had to miss the start of the week, but we had already planned our Holiday World trip with the Wethington's for those days. This years theme was circus, the Hen's and Chicks really out did themselves...carnival themed games, tickets for prizes, shaved ice, and circus related crafts! We are so blessed to have such an awesome LARGER THEN LIFE family, I love each and everyone of you so much and cherish all the memories we have made together at countless years at Paradise!!

After breakfast this is what looks like from sun up to sun down!! Kids in the pool, Kids on the boat, kids kids everywhere you look.

While the little kids (ages 4 and under) hung out at the house, the older ones got greased down and headed off on the boat for some tubing and knee boarding!!
