Santa Claus, Indiana (Yes, there is such a place)
Ok, so we pretty much had a BLAST this last weekend with our neighbors and friends. In the little town of Santa Claus (three hours away from home) there is a Lake Rudolph campground and R.V. resort. For a very reasonable price you can rent an R.V. or cabin (there is also a Holiday Word theme park right next to the R.V. resort).
I had no idea what to expect other than we were going to get away and have fun. Although the girls both had fevers on the way there we decided to tough it out. We actually stayed at a hotel called Santa's Lodge but hung out at the R.V. all day with our friends.
They had what they called "Hallo Days" while we were there. There were so many fun activities including, hay rides, trick or treating, movies shown on a projector, dances and a carnival. That doesn't even include how fun it was to see all the camp sites that were decorated with Halloween stuff. These people didn't mess around!! We went on long walks all the time to check out all of the sites around us. The weather was so beautiful and I love when the leaves change colors. Although we didn't reserve one in time you can also rent golf carts to drive around the entire R.V. park. It felt like we were in a little gated community where everyone was just having a good time!
We are already to plan the same trip for next year! We are even considering another trip in the summer because there is a pool!
Gracie and Hailey hangin' out feeling sick together
Kate loved her (I mean the Mendenhall's) little baby seat
The little four wheeler was her fave
John and I had been trying all afternoon to get Hailey to sleep. One minute on Jason's lap and she was OUT! THANK YOU Jason!
Can you tell my girls love the whole Mendenhall FAMILY!

I have to thank the Mendenhall's for letting us use their camera. I totally forgot our camera and they let us snap away. I wish I would have taken some more pictures of the things people did to decorate their sites. This picture is nothing compared to some of them! People even decorated their golf carts.
