• Today is Dmitry's birthday celebration with his friends, the Waybourn
  boys and their guest from Illinois, Anna.  Some of y'all might
  remember that she came to Texas in March of '04, and it was at her
  family's farm in Illinois that we headed in June of last year. 
  She's back in Texas for a short visit, so Dmitry scheduled his birthday
  get-together so she could be here.

  They are spending the day at one of the most ghastly places on the face
  of the Earth, to my mind:  Hurricane Harbor, a large water park
  across from Six Flags.  For some odd reason the kids adore it, but
  to me it's just crowded and hot.  Ick.  I did stay long enough to take a few photos of the kids in the wave pool:

  

  To the left is the tube with Dan and Anna, and on the right is the tube with Joe.

  

  Joe in the blue tube, with Dmitry in the water and Zhenya in the yellow tube.

  

  Zhenya up-ending his tube, with Dmitry and Joe sharing a tube on the right.

  

  Dan and Anna, just floating around.
