Friday evening for HoliWood Nights we were all treated to munchies; otherwise known as "hors de 'oeuvres" to more civilized folk than myself, and exclusive Splashin' Safari time.



I didn't bring my suit as I didn't want to spoil everyone's appetite but Bond forgot his so he just dove in anyway.  I keep telling him about wet denim and "chafing" but he doesn't quite believe me.  Oh well we can't teach our children everything.  Sometimes they have to learn the hard way.



Travis and Todd were all excited to get their Splashin' Safari on.



Who is this hairy beast inhabiting the shallow waters of Bahari?



If you look under the fiery red beard and if you are a long time Negative-G reader you might recognize Joe "IndianaJoe" Keller.  I have known Joe for a long time starting out when he was a ride operator at Holiday World and beyond.  He; along with Holiday World's Mrs. Koch, were the forces behind the creation of the Santa Claus Museum and he holds the distinction of being the first member of the Negative-G Forums.  He hasn't been around much for a few years as he got married, lived overseas for a few years, became a dad and finally came back.  Needless to say he has been busy since we last saw him but getting to spend time with Joe again was a highlight of our visit back to Holiday World this year. 

Oh Joe hasn't gone all "Grizzly Addams" on us with the beard.  It is just temporary as there is a beard growing contest in his town and he is going for the win.
