Waterpark Adrenaline

Last week, my Aunt M and Uncle J took A, B, J, and I, along with our Grandpa to the waterpark. (Wet 'n' Wild in Greensboro, NC) Now, I'm not a big thrill person; that's A, but I enjoy going down somewhat mild rides in inner tubes. (They make me feel safer, even though they usually run me over in the splash pool.) We went down the first slide, just a slide into the water. Well, J and B refused. Aunt M took B on the kid version after we were done. A and Grandpa went on the super huge scary tube/funnel/dark thing, while the rest of us went on the one person tube/river rapids. We all loved it. Then, we went on this new racing ride. You go down the slide on glorified yoga mats. B decided, last minute (naturally) that she didn't want to go, so Uncle J took her to the end. Then we went on the three person river rapids thing. A and Grandpa showed up, and Uncle J didn't go. He waited at the end, and laughed at us. I went down with B and Aunt M, and I fell off at the end (He said it looked like I just fell straight through the raft.) and they ran me over. I was underwater, so I was fine. Grandpa dared A to go on the straight down, super high, death drop slide. The two of them, plus Aunt M and Uncle J went down. J, B and I sat at the bottom, figured out what we wanted for lunch and to do after lunch, and dropped the map in a puddle.
Lunch was chicken wings with ranch and fries. We spent about an hour in the wave pool, floating around and goofing off. J and B started having races to see who could move farthest with the wave. It was a wash. Aunt M tried to swim and touch the wall where the waves come out, but the lifeguards made her go back. Uncle J taught B to float. We then headed for the Dragon's Den, a slide with a dragon in it, basically. A and Aunt M went on the scary half pipe tube ride thing instead. J and I went down the dragon ride first. As you climbed the stairs, you could see the dragon inside it, but I wear glasses, and have to take them off on rides, so we had some conversations about that dragon shaped blur over there. B and Uncle J went next. Funny thing is, B usually screams the whole way down rides, but she didn't want to bother the dragon, so she was silent the whole way down. J and I screamed like babies. Then, we went to the Lazee River and rode around twice. I got stuck in the tube, Aunt M spent most of the time falling out, and B fell asleep. Uncle J was asking A if she wanted to go down the big black tube ride, and she kept saying no. But I, the stupidest person on Earth (and the least likely to ever do this), said, "I'll do it." I think A had a heart attack, and she was laughing at me, and then she was going, and I was going, and J said sure, and Grandpa and Uncle J and Aunt M were going, and we were on top of the slides, and I thought I was going to pass out, and I went down the slide and I sat down, and a lady noticed Aunt M's elbow was bleeding. Then, A checked my elbow and I was bleeding, and I started crying, and then we left because blood and tears, plus J was about to fall asleep on the bench. (He got to the top, decided he actually didn't want to go down the slide, so he climbed down the stairs and almost fell asleep.) The moral of the story is: KEEP YOUR ELBOWS NEXT TO YOU ON TUBE SLIDES. ALSO, DON'T SAY YES TO GOING DOWN SCARY WATERSLIDES.

Chorus of the Day!

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna

Way before Nirvana

There was U2 and Blondie

And music still on M-T-V

Her two kids in high school

They tell her that she's uncool

But she's still preoccupied

With 19, 19, 1985

Last Chorus of the Day:
All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran
