Water park (Mis)Adventure

Our waterpark  adventure didn't unfold as planned, but that is part for the course with our family.  We arrived later than anticipated because packing for a one night getaway took an obscenely long time. From traffic to unplanned stops, it felt like the cards were stacked against us.  I felt a huge sigh of relief when we finally drove into the waterpark parking lot.

The skies were bright blue and the air was warm, creating perfect swimming conditions.  We immediately began to splash and play. Both boys were particularly fond of the wave pool and the belly flopper slide.  We stayed in the pool until the waves shut off, at which point we made a beeline for the slides.

After three hours, the skies began to darken and the temperature dropped.  We took the cue from the weather and headed inside to play in the indoor park until the storm blew over.  Timmy and Scott set out to go on a curly slide while Robby and I were floating down the lazy river.

All of a sudden, we heard a loud crash followed by darkness. The emergency lights flickered on while lifeguards were frantically blowing their whistles.  The entire park had lost power.  What a bummer!

We waited for nearly an hour before we decided to leave.  (Thankfully  we were given passes to return another day, which was unnecessary but very much appreciated.) We had a great time, even if the day was considerably shorter than planned.
