GRANDSON FUN (DAY TWO)

The boys went to bed early last night in anticipation of getting up early this morning and embarking on a secret adventure. 
 
We were out of the house at 6:30 a.m. and accomplished this feat without waking up Debra or Ashley.
 

 
Boys only for this trip.
Every trip requires an occasional stop to buy gasoline, to use the rest room and to jump up and down in the back of a pickup.
Our secret destination became known when we arrived at Water Works in Redding, California.
Hunter and Silas both sail down The Corkscrew  (Click the name of each ride and see what it looks like).
The boys grab their tubes and prepare to ride The Raging River.
Down they come.
Climbing the stairs and getting ready to ride The Cyclone.
Lunch break.
Hunter slides into the pool.
Both boys cool off under a raining mushroom.
Silas rides the scariest attraction at the park:  The Avalanche.
After returning to the hotel from the water park, we decided to get some ice cream at Dairy Queen.  Since the temperature outside was only 105 degrees, we decided to walk.  It took only about ten minutes.
We've eaten several healthy meals so far:  Dinner last night at McDonalds, breakfast this morning at Burger King, Lunch today at the snack bar at the water park, and dinner tonight at Dairy Queen.  At least I had fresh strawberries.  Maybe they were frozen.  It was hard to tell the way they were mixed into my Strawberry CheeseQuake Blizzard.
The boys chow down at a Dairy Queen that was undergoing some remodelling.
Returning from Dairy Queen to the hotel, we stopped for a moment to admire our shadows.
Once in our hotel room, we relaxed for the remainder of the evening in front of the television.
