Hawaiian Falls Champion Day

Summer time in Texas usually includes fun in the water to cool off.  Again this summer, Caleb is working at Hawaiian Falls, a family-friendly Texas water park offering six locations run with Christian principles.  This year Caleb is working in the office and is also that mysterious announcer voice you hear in the park. 

The staff start each day with a prayer and a rally chant before the doors open.  The music throughout the park is family friendly.  The staff close out the day with short devotional and prayer.  It's just a reminder to the employees that they are act in a way that is pleasing to God in all of their interactions with the public. 

In keeping with that mindset, today Hawaiian Falls opened their doors early for Champion's Day. It's a day where children and adults with disabilities can enjoy the park while it is less crowded.  The staff are prepped with tips for interacting with the Champions.  The music in the park is at a lower volume to avoid anxiety issues.  Additional staff is on duty to help park goers on and off the rides. 

NBC was at The Colony water park today and interviewed Frankie, Caleb and myself about the value of offering such a great day for the Champions.  Caleb came into work early today so he could enjoy some of the day with Frankie.  The middle row of pictures are fun shots a friend sent us when they saw us on tv (thanks, Gracie)! 

On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. I Corinthians 12:22-23
