10 Things I’ve Learned at Fiesta Texas
Jenny – one of our two goddaughters in Pearland – is visiting this week which, of course, necessitated a trip to Fiesta Texas. We love Fiesta Texas, especially the water park. Julia has her own sign language (roller coaster motions) to ask if we’re going to Fiesta Texas on any given day, or even the next day (She says “sleep,” followed by the roller coaster motions.) She’d go every day, if we were willing to take her.
I’m almost as bad as the kids. Offer me a water slide on a hot day – I’m there!
So I’ve been thinking about what I’ve learned at Fiesta Texas in the six and a half years we’ve been in San Antonio. Here’s my personal Top 10:
10. “Secure all items” does mean the cell phone in your pocket.
9. There are no atheists on Boomerang.
8. The three most important words in the English language: Wait. Your. Turn.
Jenny and Lois managed to streak their (formerly lovely) heads of hair red last night. Forgive me, Sandi, it should fade by the time school starts?!
7. It’s fun to pose for pictures you know you’re not buying.
6. Potty every time you can, and make it a family affair.
5. Close your mouth on water rides.
4. When you’re on “Twister,” a barbecue sandwich only looks good before it’s eaten.

3. If you think you can’t dance – try walking barefoot in the water park.
2. Spandex. It’s not for everyone.
And the #1 thing I’ve learned at Fiesta Texas: Tattoos are forever.
