"P" Day Trip to the Water Park

We gathered in the parking garage for our day outing, and took pictures of the guys and gals who were going on the day trips. Most everyone (20) went with the group who wanted to hike in the mountains, but we went with the kids and their parents (7) who want to play in the water.

It was a very hot day and all the spraying water felt refreshing.

Lots of people. The water was only
 2 ft deep and there was no place to swim.

Bob played with the kids, and provided them with the squirt gun.

Bishop Arnie Chen and his wife Jean.
Arnie is the Temple Recorder, and a Bishop.

This is Sam Chen (almost 9 years old),
his parents are pictured above.

Here is Tony Wang and his daughter who just returned from a mission. His wife went hiking with the other group. Tony is the Temple Engineer, and has 5 children; which is a very big family in Taiwan.

Bob is having fun as he attacks the 3 kids.

The water slide was my adventure for the day.  Bob and I waited in long lines with water spraying on us. The slide was fun, but the landing was like a big rubber water bed and I couldn't get up.  The young little life guard came over to give me a hand, and he really had to work hard to get this old foreigner up.  I bet he told the story to his fellow life guards.

Bob was fascinated with the deck chairs.  This is Sister Wang, the return missionary, trying to take a nap. She has a sister on a mission in Vancouver, Canada.

You always know it has been a successful day when the kids fall asleep on the way home. Sam is sound asleep on my shoulder. His red cheeks look like Bob's face and neck, and my shoulders and back. We found an Aloe Vera plant across the street from the Temple to sooth our pains. We stayed under an umbrella most the time and Bob wore a shirt in the water, and I used sunscreen; but we still got too much sun.
