Water Park Fun

My first day of teaching at Grand Bear Lodge went really well, I am happy to say. Afterwards Dave convinced me to go to the indoor water park and try the water slides.

OMIGOD!!! It is like going down a rabbit hole at a million miles an hour with nothing to hold on to and screaming at the top of your lungs all the way until you hit the splash pool. I was scared to death that I would break my arms and legs and just DIE!!

But no…!

I kept climbing the three flights of stairs and riding down these tubes (enclosed so small that only you and the rush of water could fit) until I could do it without screaming bloody murder. I was simultaneously scared to death and thrilled to high heaven. (so many trite-isms!)

Dave loved this experience so much I was afraid his face would break from smiling so hard. I can’t remember him being this happy in years and years. We will definitely put water parks on our “Let’s go!” list from now on.

Today is my second class and my voice will surely give out, all that screaming last night did me in!

    What fun! You and Dave MUST come to Germany. They have public pools where for a mere $5 you have 3 hours unlimited use of lap pools, kid pools, whirlpools, diving pools, waterslides, grottos and saunas! We're near one that even has it's own lake. They are at least half indoors so you can enjoy watersliding in the dead of winter. Our big debate is whether to go to the one with the big waterslide, or drive a little further to the huge waterslide :-)

    BTW, Your tulip pattern is fabulous. I really liked the festive background on the big version, but I think you've found a perfectly "Melody" way of utilizing the darks to make the flowers really pop in this version.

    As always, you've inspired me. I must find the time to start a series of some sort.

    Oh, I forgot to mention--according to preteen boys--if you pull your shorts down and waterslide on your bare bottom, you go a lot faster!
