One Last Waterpark Visit

My daughter starts school in two days, and thus, we decided to get one last waterpark visit in. It was supposed to very hot today with a high around 100, so we needed something to keep us cool. We decided to head to Mahoney State Park one more time as it's close, and always fun with the huge waves. Today was no different. For a Monday, there were a lot of people there, but I'm guessing everyone else had the same idea, i.e. one last blast before school starts, plus it was so hot. It was packed, and by 2 pm, it was wall to wall people in the wave pool. It's fun when there are so many people, but also a little dangerous too. In fact, by mid afternoon, my daughter gave up trying to use the innertube and just body surfed. I did have to laugh though, I witnessed a 50-something lady (with leathery skin) putting on a full course of makeup, including base, powder, eye shadow, lip stick, lip liner, and she even curled her eyelashes. Doh! What a piece of work. I rolled my eyes to the guy sitting next to me, and shrugged his shoulders. Then he asked her why she was putting on makeup. She made a comment that she wanted to look good, and that she was only here for the sun and not the water. Ugh. No wonder her skin looked like a crocodile shell. Oh well.
