See it to Believe it!!

Last night, Kris's department at Schlitterbahn had the opportunity to ride the sky coaster. I had to go, because I never thought Kris would do it!! Not only did he do it, but he rode it twice! The managers had to go first. They went up 180 feet in the air, and then came flying down!! They say you can reach up to 80 mph while swinging...I believe it! It was nice to see the kids that work for him have fun! Everyone had a great time and it was topped off with Dippin Dots and Slushies!

The 3 Managers getting ready to go first!

Them taking the walk up to the lift.

At this point, they are no longer on the ground and ready for lift off! Sorry it is dark!

There is no turning back now...they are the small round spot at the top, 180 feet above the ground!

Now Kris is flying!

This picture is dark, but in the background (below them) is the Master Blaster!

All smiles, no vomit!!

Round 2!

This the quick backward lift up the Sky Coaster. Kris said he could see all of New Braunfels at the top!

Hello Dolly!

I know it has been a while since Hurricane Dolly was here, but I finally got the pictures on the computer! These pictures are of Dolly moving into the New Braunfels area. We ended up getting a very much need 3-6 inches!! I can say our first hurricane experience was a good one!

Hello Again!

Well, things at the Armes' house has been busy. Today is the last day that the park is open till 8. Then they are open till 6 for a week, then only weekends for about a month. I am sure Kris is ready for a break! But I must say, his first season as gone smoothly! I can't believe how fast this summer has gone by, or that we have been gone from Lubbock for almost 6 months!!
My parents came down a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to see them, since we haven't seen them since they moved us down here! We are looking forward to going to the lake, now that there will be a break between summer season and Christmas season! I bet our Seadoo needs a bath!!
Our friends Dustin and Alisha came down last week. We had a nice visit with them, and got to try out some new restaurants that are pretty good!!
My work is going good. The other OTR that I work with also graduated from Texas Tech. Starting in September, we have to COTA's that will start and they have a son that plays for UT. We are planning on decorating our gym in Tech stuff before they start. My Paw-Paw has given me a lot of his leather work done in Tech, that we will put up all over the gym! I just hope Tech is what they should be this year...and beats UT!!! Well, I hope everyone has a great rest of the summer!
