Austin, TX - Day 3 - Nov 13, 2022

 It was a full weekend!  We got up this morning and headed to Kalahari Resort where we had tickets to the waterpark.  It was lots of fun!  The water was colder than the ladies were hoping in the lazy river, but we enjoyed hours of fun on the waterslide, lazy river, and wave pool.  It wasn't overly busy and we didn't get to try all the waterslides, but we still had a good time.  The kids didn't like going on the tub slides with MBMell and Lola, as they scream too much, but eventually had to go with Lola a few times.







We had lunch pool side and then enjoyed about another hour of the water park before showering and heading to an escape room.







MBMell was betting with AA (from afar) how much DD and Lola would butt heads, but they actually worked well together.  The escape room was space themed, but it had a lot of screens and not a lot of challengers.  But we made it out, and the "helper" told us we did a section that most people need a hint about but we figured it out. 



After the escape room, MBMell and Lola got the adults Starbucks from the hotel lobby while DD took the kids to the rope course.  B had been telling Lola how much she wanted to do it over and over again, so Lola suggested it as we had a little time before we needed to head for supper.  As we were sitting there enjoying our drinks, DD answers a phonecall.  It was the escape room "do you have the key cards" for the game... opps, luckily we weren't far away, and DD ran to return them so the next group could solve the mistery.

They had a blast, and even though T was a little nervous and cautious at the beginning, he really enjoyed the challenging parts and even the zip line.  The adults also enjoyed their teas and watching the kids go through the different challenges.  They spent well over 30 minutes in the course, and we aren't sure how they had any energy to keep going.











DD played a few arcade games with the kids and then we headed to Outback Steakhouse for supper.

The kids were exhausted, but held it together through supper except for a mishap with a hole spewing water out of a styrofoam cup, and Lolas meal coming full of butter... we made it through pretty good.  We were all pretty tired from so much time spend in the water this morning/afternoon.  MBMell and Lola had Steak and Lobster with baked potatoes, DD had Shrimp on the Barbie, B had a Cheese burger while T had chicken fingers. Everyone was pretty much done their meals by the time Lola got hers, but the food was still pretty good, and DD didn't get the Bloomin' Onion, and we are proud of him. He told us before we went in to make sure he didn't get it as it doesn't' make him feel very well.

Only photo from supper is MBMell's Pina Koala drink.

We made it home, kids went to bed and the adults got ready for a work day the next day.  Lunches were made and we went to sleep.
