Yesterday, 15 of us Mortlands went to the Henry Moses Water Park, here in Renton. What a great place that is! There is a water slide, a big wave pool, a regular Olympic size pool (for serious swimmers) and another area with fountains to play under, in and around. Best of all, with my Renton address on my driver license, we were able to get in for around 89 bucks....that would probably get two people into Wild Waves down in Federal Way. There are lots of lounge chairs and regular chairs and big umbrellas to sit under in the shade. You can also bring in your own snacks and beverages - which you can't do at Wild Waves. They limit the number of people to 650 or so - even tho the capacity is 900. Once they're full they won't allow anyone else in.,...even to watch. Needless to say, I was a "watcher" not a swimmer....but let me tell you, the people watching is magnificent!!
Susie and her family have been here from New Hampshire and it has been so great to have them here. The kids have grown a lot, of course, and they are still sweet, engaging, smart, beautiful and wonderful. Jeff went home yesterday, Susie and Maggie go home on Thursday and Henry is staying an extra week and he and Marcia will go home then. We have been doing nothing much but hanging out together while they are here. It is wonderful!
I am worried about my little dog, Fritz.....this heat we are having seems to be doing him in. He spent the night on the bathroom floor - did not hop up on the bed as he usually does. He went out for his walk this morning, took his treat - but didn't eat it - VERY unusual. He just stared at his food just now, decided that was a no, drank some water and went back into the bathroom. I have the bedroom fan on, the air conditioner on, and another fan going...but it is still hot here. Yesterday the apartment got up to 80 degrees with all that going on....still better than outside Supposed to hit 100 tomorrow....lordy, lordy!!! I wonder why he has chosen the bathroom for his retreat.,...it is hot in there! If this goes on much longer, I will take him to the vet......if only to reassure myself that it is the heat and not something else.
Stay cool.....if you can!
