Water park visit with John - 02 July 2014

Guest Post By John Mabes

Today we went to Galveston Island for a day of summer fun. Most of it was spent at Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort, which was amazing. The park offered fun for kids of all ages. We were able to float in tubes through tidal waves, roaring rapids and relaxing currents on more than a mile of a sometimes lazy river. We were able to experience the up and down thrills of a what they describe it as a "water coaster," surf ocean-like waves and drop down challenging towering speed slides. And when the adults were all tired out, the kiddos could splash and play in one of the many hidden pirate treasure coves, several were even covered to allow us to get out of the sun for a few precious minutes.

We finished the day by having dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf, where Aurora was thrilled when we were serenaded by dolphins and even able to see them play in the harbor.
