Granddaughter Week Ends

Click for Garland, Texas Forecast

We have had a wonderful time, but were also glad to see this day arrive.  Our final day with the girls was to be spent at the Firewheel  Hawaiian Falls Waterpark in Garland, TX.

I’ll have to hand it to Tinka, she planned things and kept everyone moving the entire week.  I don’t know how she kept up the energy level.  I positioned myself for the day under a small palapa with my book and didn’t really move except for a float on the Lazy River.

Tinka also took advantage of the Lazy River which makes a slow 1/4 mile circle.

The girls exhausted themselves moving from one attraction to the next.

The fun continued until park closing time at 6:00 PM.  Then we picked up some happy meals for the kids and delivered them to their parents.  We realize, once again, why young people have kids.

On the way home we ordered take-out from Olive Garden, grabbed a bottle of wine and went home to collapse.
