June 10 to 12, 2022 – Jellystone Park Waller

This weekend we spent time at Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas with AJ’s kids, her sister, and her sister’s kids. It was one of those weekends that felt full from start to finish, with plenty of noise, laughter, and the kind of chaos that only happens when family gets together. The kids kept busy between the pool, the activities, and just running around, while the adults found moments to relax and catch up.

One of the funniest moments came when AJ’s sister looked over at AE, shook her head, and said, “Boy, you need to get out of the sun. Look at your eyes, they are getting sunburnt!” I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard. The way she said it, so serious and matter-of-fact, made it even better. I still think about those words and find myself wondering how in the world someone could actually get sunburn on their eyes.

Looking back, it wasn’t just that one line that made the weekend memorable. It was the whole atmosphere, everyone together, the kids playing without a care in the world, and the kind of simple joy that comes with being outside and surrounded by family. These are the kinds of weekends that stick with me, not because of big events, but because of little moments like that one.

Review: Jellystone Park Waller

Jellystone Park Waller (Review) – Stayed June 10-12 2022

The staff at Yogi Bear were really friendly, and the GM stood out as being very accommodating and family oriented. From the moment we checked in, we felt welcomed, and it set the tone for the whole trip. We will definitely be back, and I would recommend this place to anyone thinking about staying here.

Our cabin was clean and comfortable, and the check in process was quick and easy. The pool and water areas were a big highlight. The kids had a blast swimming and playing, and it gave us adults a chance to relax while still being part of the fun. It felt like there was always something to do.

We tried out the putt putt course, which turned into a fun little competition. The kids spent plenty of time on the jumping pillow, burning off energy and laughing the entire time. Between all the activities, it felt like there was something for everyone, no matter what kind of pace you wanted to keep.

Some of the equipment and areas were a little worn out, but honestly that did not take away from the experience. The place had a good atmosphere, and we made plenty of memories while we were there. Looking back, it was one of those weekends where everything just came together and reminded me why family trips like this are worth the effort.
