Waterslides

Dear Dad....... 

This is my Dad --- circa 1970s!

He's riding the waterslide in Manteca, a new campground with a small lake and fun amenities for the kids.   We spent many, many weekends enjoying ourselves here, camping out in style with our pop up tent trailer.   It wasn't far to drive, we'd head up after work on a Friday, get all set up and have a late evening watersliding session.

After it got dark, the campground would play movies on an outdoor movie screen and us kids would park ourselves on a blanket on the ground to watch old Disney films.  There was a game room as well, where you could put coins in the jukebox, play a little pool or pinball.  (or... if you were brave, to flirt with the boys!!  No, wait .... I think that was my sister... yeah, I'm sure it was!! )

Many fun weekends were spent here,
and we never seemed to grow tired of it.

We didn't know we were making good memories,

we just thought we were having fun!

Thanks, Dad!
