Water Country USA 2005

Yesterday at nine o'clock Mom,Dad,Jamie,Matt and I went to Water Country USA. It was an hour away so I brought some books and my CD player. I finished my Girls of Many Land Yup'ik, Minuk:Ashes In the Pathway. I needed a break from reading to I listened to my cd player. Sooner than it seemed we saw the sign for Water Country USA. We waited in line to get in the parking area. When we got out I put on sunscreen on because I didn't want to get burnt. Jamie and Matt didn't though. So we walked in gave out tickets to the persons. Of course we had to take a picture of the water country sign in front of the park like always. The we went on our first ride called "Jet Scream". It was a half covered tube slide with bright green one seater tubes. I was nervous while waiting in line because I didn't know if it was going to be scary or not. Once I was actually on the ride it was nice. I did it again after my first time. I can't remember all the rides we went on but the two I remember are "Turbo Racers" and "Hubba Hubba Highway". "Turbo Racers" was like those slides at the State Fair except it was bigger and had water on it. At the end of race I got up and started running. I slipped and fell on my butt and in the process tried to catch myself with my hand. I hastily got up and walked over to Mom and Dad. When they were speaking everything I heard sounded muffled along with the fact my wrist was killing me and so was my butt. Jamie went with Matt again on "Turbo Racers" while Mark went to take our heavy bag back to the car with my sandals in it. Soon I was hearing normally. After some more rides my feet started burning because the pavement was hot. Once or twice I almost cried it hurt so bad!!! For lunch I had chicken strips and French fries with a Mountian Dew: Code Red. It was pretty good although where we sat there was stupid wasps that kept coming around us. I HATE wasps,bees ectra. So we moved to a table that was away from the trash can. We went to "Adventure Isle" next. It had a leisure water ride where u just went around and around,four scary slides and monkey bars across a small portion of the pool.After thirty or so minutes we went to some other rides. Last but not least came "Hubba Hubba Highway". I had bugged Mom and Dad to go there all day long because in the website it said that it was the biggest attraction in the park. It wasn't THAT cool. It was a leisure ride almost like "Adventure Isle" except it was longer and had little water spouts here and there.I went around like five times. By then I was tired and so was everyone else. So we went back near the entrance were Jame and Matt rode "Malibu Pipeline". I didn't go on it because it was a closed tube slide and I don't like those. So we waited. Dad and mark started getting on my nerves. Soon it was almost time to leave. Dad,Mark and I went to the candy shop to get vanilla Dippin Dots for me to eat because I was thirsty while Jamie and Matt rode the "Jett Scream" for the last time. Then we went home!!!

4th of July 2005

This afternoon Mom,Dad,Jamie and I went to Mr.R's house for Dinner. They had soft and hard tacos with beef and chicken. It was quite tasty.Along with out family there was a some others. One of the kids named Aaron is sorta weird like. He thinks he has a time machine,communicates with martins and thinks that he is friends with them. He is just plain out weird. Anyway, I sat in the adults room because the children's room was very crowded. Soon we left to go see the fireworks near the resovoir. I rode in the car with the C. family. I noticed while we were going to find a parking that there was a ton of people . Like every block there was cars lined up. Finally we parked and started walking. We walked for like nine minutes. Once we got to the area we were sitting in all the kids went down to the water to skip rocks. I sat in the grass. Soon the fireworks started. I couldn't see very well due to the fact two big trees were in the way. If you stood near the water you could see them better. So for twenty minutes we watched the show standing up. After that time it was dark. We started walking in the dark which is hard when you can't see what is in front of you. Safely we all got to our cars. The R's dropped us off at our house.
