Marine World

Tristan's choice of water ride, looks tame enough, but aren't all those folks wet?!

This looks like it may be a wet one....

All wet and happy about it.
Killer whale tongue. Front row seats and all wet again.

Cute little guy with a yucky eye. Many of their animals are rescues.

This one was laughing.

Yummy frozen drink, someone dove right into the whipped cream.

I'm not really sure about this one. Frozen mouth I believe.

The boy was really 'into' this frozen treat!

Summer vacation is quickly coming to it's end. Grandson Tristan has moved to town and will be starting his new school soon. He is a little upset that he starts next week and his old school in Michigan doesn't start until September. Maybe he is feeling a bit cheated out of vacation days.

This fun-loving Nana suggested a trip to Six Flags Marine World. The idea was a hit. Amy, Tristan and I spent yesterday at the park. Jerry didn't mind that we went without him, not his 'cuppa tea'


We enjoyed marine shows, a cute bird show, the Shark Display, Zoo animals, Sea Creatures, rode Tristan's choice of Roller Coaster FOUR times, Tristan's choice of water ride TWO times but, he refused to ride our choice of Roller Coaster. Amy and I rode the 'looped, upside down curves, feet dangling in the air' Roller Coaster. It was a blast! Today Tristan proclaimed that 'next time' he'll ride one of the big ones with us. We'll see......

Today I wimped out and did not work outdoors in the heat. I cleaned house. Tristan wants to ride horses so bad, but it is just too hot. A night-time, full moon ride would be fun.

We are enjoying fresh lettuce and tomatoes from our garden daily now. The other veggies aren't so great. Next year we'll enrich this poor garden soil before we plant.

The deer have been savoring the flavors of many of my flowers. So the flowers are in cages now and the deer are behaving. ( I can't believe this ranch dog of ours allows deer on the property.) We've been pleasantly surprised by some of the late blooms and blossoms that appear.
