A Walk (Ride/Shot/Swim) in the Park
Once a year, Keith and I both take a vacation day to accompany the girls to Fiesta Texas. It’s so hard to get everyone’s schedules coordinated – once the date is set, it’s inviolate. And boy do we plan it out. Drink mugs, coupons, sunscreen, eyeglass straps – you name it, we’ve probably got it. I’ve long thought my best chance of Monty Hall rewarding me on “Let’s Make a Deal” for some obscure item found in my bag would happen during a Fiesta Texas jaunt.
Yes, we do get one of these pictures made. Because we’re just cool like that.
One of my favorite Fiesta Texas tips. Save differently-colored plastic mug straws from year to year. Then each person can use a uniquely-colored straw and there’s little danger of foreign backwash ingestion.

View from the Ferris Wheel, which Hannah and I love. Lois – not so much. She doesn’t trust us not to sway so she won’t ride. Not trusting her loving family? If I had feelings, they’d be hurt.
Scooby’s Haunted Mansion shoot’em’up. Family rivalry is intense with many bets made (but not paid.)
The closest our girls will ever come to owning a dog. At least as long as they live here. Mom is mean.
Normally, we do the Lazy River last. But it was sooooo hot – we jumped in as soon as we hit the water park. One thing I really like about Fiesta Texas – they don’t charge extra for the water park. Locker rentals are pricey. We always hand ours off to another family when we leave.
Once I get in that tube, I’m not budging – even when a 54-lb. fish jumps on me.
This is the first time I’ve seen both of Lois’ eyes in months. I wasn’t sure that right one was still there.
Finally, a short mat-racing film by Hannah. Look for it at Cannes.
Don’t forget to get your hand stamped on your way out! And where did we park the swagger wagon?!

Waiting to go with my relatives next month.

What a great tradition and kudos for coordinating all those schedules to make it happen!
I love the part about Lois’ eyes!! Funniest thing I’ve heard all day
I’m slow — had to go back to understand the eyes comment. I can’t imagine the Woodworth family without water. I know all you fishies had a great time.
