Duffy Rides the Ferris Wheel

The next morning the Campbell family left Waco still talking about meeting the President, the First Lady and their Scotties. They arrived in San Antonio and decided to go to Six Flags Over Texas for the afternoon and evening. Duffy and MacGregor were allowed into the park as long as they were kept on their leashes. All the kids wanted to ride the roller coaster, which at one point had everyone upside down as it went through a loop-de-loop. Neither Charlie or Judy wanted to ride on tha,t so they kept the dogs and watched their kids enjoy the ride with much screaming from the girls.

The girls wanted to ride on the Ferris Wheel next. So they all went over to that ride and after the girls were strapped in, Duffy got away from Scott and jumped in with them. MacGregor just barked. The man running the ride thought it was cute to have Duffy on the ride, and so off they went. Duffy loved it and wanted to ride again and again. Finally, the ride ended, and the girls and Duffy got off. MacGregor was very glad to see Duffy back on firm ground.

The Campbells stayed into the evening to watch the fireworks at the amusement part. They all sat on the grass to watch, and the dogs sat side by side to watch as well. At first they did not know what to make of all of the lights and noise, but then they settled down and enjoyed the fireworks as much as the rest of the family. A tired Campbell family drove back to the motel for the night.
