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?!
