By this time last year, we would have been three times already. Time is really getting away from us this summer. Our trip was made on a Wednesday. It was not crowded. We didn’t arrive until twelve so we went directly to the waterpark. That was the best decision to make since we were already sweating at that point. The water really helped keeping us cool. The areas throughout the waterpark included a wave pool, tube rides, a lazy river, slides, and two areas designed especially for kids. The kids’ areas were shallow and had multiple fun objects to play on. It included a small whale to slide through, a huge cowboy hat to stand under and get soaked, a boat to climb, and so much more.

It took hours to finally get the boys to want to go ride roller coasters. We timed it just right. When it was time to ride, it wasn’t so hot. There honestly are a lot of rides the boys can go on. It kept us busy for the rest of the day. There were bumper cars, roller coasters, a Scooby Doo ride to shoot ghosts and goblins, airplanes, diesel trucks, a train that travels the whole park, and swings. At the end of the night there is a firework show, but our family gets way too tired to make it. There is plenty of entertainment at Fiesta Texas and as soon as time allows, we will return.

Long Park (Decker Lake) http://www.austinmomblog.com/walter-e-long-park-decker-lake/ http://www.austinmomblog.com/walter-e-long-park-decker-lake/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:56:43 +0000 Dianna http://www.austinmomblog.com/?p=236 We have been searching for good places to fish at and haven’t found one. We went to Decker Lake on Wednesday and had no luck with fishing. However, it was a nice little place to visit. We took our sons’ jeep with us and they had a good time riding it throughout the park. There was a lot of open area for them to ride through. We did a little research on the park before we went and knew they didn’t have a playground. We had to come prepared. They did have picnic tables and barbecue pits. Our main goal was for Andrew (our oldest son) to catch a fish. We have been fishing four times in the past week and he hasn’t got a nibble. We end up leaving with him disappointed. He would fish all day if we let him. I’ve been told that in order to catch some fish at Decker Lake, we need a boat. We are looking into paddle boats so maybe we will have better luck next time. Maybe wherever we go, we will have some kind of luck.
