My Purdue season tickets came in the mail!!!

Well, vacation is over and it's back to work this week BOO! The only nice thing about returning from vacation was going to the mailbox and finding our Purdue season tickets HELL YA BABY!!!

This past week my whole family pretty much went on a vacation together while at times a zoo it was definitely a good time, and just great to get away. So, my mom, sister, brother in law, their three kids(ages twins 6 youngest 4), brother in laws parents, and of course Kris and I took off for the great state of Ohio for a getaway. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and Kings Island. For those not familiar with these places Great Wolf is a huge hotel that has an even bigger indoor water park which my nephews absolutely LOVE, the perk for me is it's right next door to Kings Island a fun amusement park! The day we got there was devoted to the water park, it was fun but I am just not that big of a water park person, and without this sounding too mean water parks seem to attract heavy people who wear swimsuits that don't fit YEOW! They have some cool slides, including my nephews favorite the toilet bowl, as well as a neat water coaster, but I tell ya the water was FREEZING! The plan the second day was for me to stay at the water park til about 5ish and then head over to the amusement park for the day but it wasn't looking promising as it was thunderstorming most the day and of course they shut down the rides. If any of you live in Kentucky it was the day the University of Louisville was under water! Anywho I kept checking and around 6 the storm passed the rides were running so we(kris and I) booked it to Kings Island to get some rides in, and it worked out perfect. Since the rides had been closed since noon there were NO lines!! It was awesome! They have a new roller coaster that's like 270 feet called Diamondback we got to ride that 5 times! We could have ridden more but we wanted to get on some other rides as well. If you ever go to Kings Island in Mason OH, make sure you ride the Beast at night there is absolutely nothing like it! In all we rode all the major coasters as well as some fun spinning rides, and ended the night on the tallest free fall ride in the world it was a great night. The vacation ended with all of us going to Kings Island for the last day, it was fun my brother in law actually lost his flip flop on Diamondback! How crazy he held it on for the whole 3 minute ride and we were waiting to pull in the station and he was wiggling his foot and off it went, so he had to buy new ones HA too funny. We ended the trip with me taking my nephew on the octopus 4 times in a row, talk about dizzy!

It was nice to get home and go to the mailbox and find my Purdue tickets had come!! I am getting excited, and we aren't even suppose to be good! I like pro sports, but to me there is NOTHING that compares to the atmosphere you get at college sporting events, to me nothing is better than the college game. How are your teams suppose to be? I see Florida and Texas a re 1 and 2 in the opening poll to that I say YAWN doubt either will stay there.

Well, that's all I have hope everyone is enjoying the end of summer!
