Believe in the sun, even when it's not shining

In love, even when you're alone

In God, even when He is silent.

Put Your Helmet On...

...strap yourself in...we're going on a time machine! Remember when I said there was a Part II to our Hill Country Vacation? - yes, that would be back in July... The Fiesta Texas pictures? Better late than never...Here we go...

Whoa...that's a bit too far...

...still too far...

...getting closer...

Yay! Fiesta Texas... That's me & Grace with Bugs...


The water park wasn't open yet, so we decided to sneak in a ride or two until then...the Roadrunner Express (yes, a roller coaster) was the first thing that we came upon that she was tall enough to ride and she wanted to ride... BAD. We told her that it would go very fast and there would be some "dips"...yeah, dips. The kinda dips that would make Mommy want to lose the Filet-O-Fish that she had just eaten at McDonalds minutes before... but, she was still game and who were we to refuse? This was the part of the trip all for her...

Well, it's a long story, but we were separated by a couple of seats because two teenage boys jumped in where I was supposed to be...the ride was over ...you can just get a glimpse of her poor little face trying to find her Mommy...

...it scared her, but I just kept telling her how brave she had been and how she was going to be able to tell all of her friends that he had ridden a roller coaster ...and things got better...that's the ride over my head...yep, she did that!

awwww....

...and then the water park opened and after we changed clothes and got a locker, well, they were ready to close...just kidding, but it felt like it took that long...we're on the lazy river here...

oops...that's not Gentleman Jack...
playing on the pirate ship...


...then in the wave pool...


some underwater shots...

she really does look like a mermaid...and that's a good thing because that's what she has chosen to be for Halloween... :)

We had a great time, but we all went back to the hotel and totally crashed...we slept for three hours and went to a late dinner at Maggiano's Italian...a great end to our last day of vacation!
