Update on Jamie
As many of you know, Jamie, my wife, is in the hospital. What was thought to be a bad UTI and a possible kidney stone is really a really, really bad UTI that has spread to her kidneys and if untreated will get into her blood. She will be in the hospital at least over night with an IV of an antibiotic more powerful than what she was taking.
Jaida and Tori are at the grandparents house. Please pray for the infection to go away quickly.
Holiday World Update
I just found out from the bus people that we can bring snacks and drinks on the bus. Please use the trash can and not let them fall to the floor of the bus please.

Bikini swimsuit tops (or bikini-style tops) must be covered by a shirt when worn in Holiday World.

If a member of your party leaves the ride line for any reason (including getting a soft drink or using the restroom) the rest of the party may not “hold” his or her place. Instead, the person who left the line must go to the end of the line.

We will contact you if your item is found. If you realize you left an item behind after your visit, please click here to file a report. Before your visit, please plan ahead and leave irreplaceable items at home or label them with your contact information. During your visit, observe signage directing you to secure all loose items before riding. Be sure to contact us with Lost & Found information within two weeks of your visit as items are relinquished on a regular basis. We do not save items such as socks and underwear, personal baby items (such as bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups), unmarked film canisters, unmarked disposable cameras, personal toiletry items, and hair accessories. Please note: Holiday World is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Absolutely no cameras are allowed on any of the other rides (even when secured in a pocket or fanny pack). For everyone’s safety, cell phone use is not permitted on rides.
7. Please eat something before getting on the bus on Wednesday morning. I’m not sure if we can have snacks on the bus but am going to find out but please eat beforehand just in case.
