Day 5 was the water park day! We were so excited to go. The boys couldn’t wait to swim with Daddy. We arrived and began our way down the path. The kids found a look out spot and checked it out from afar.
Then we got down there. Sand everywhere. For me that meant trouble. My scooter doesn’t like sand. I don’t like sand because it’s annoying. After complaining for a moment, I found a place to park, secured our things so they wouldn’t get wet (including my phone/camera) and everyone went on their way. The boys went with Daddy to the wave pool and spent most of their time riding the enormous waves then ended the day with the lazy river. They had a great time. Mommy had an interesting time. I decided to sit on a bench seat at the back of the wave pool in the shallow area. I could watch the wave jumpers when the tidal waves came but be safely seated away from the actual wave. So I sat and observed for awhile. Then the warning siren sounded and saw the elderly couple sitting next to me bracing themselves. They were turning around and holding on to the back of our bench seats. I thought, Oh, old people. Can’t take a little splash from the wave? Haha.
Then the tidal wave hit. And I went flying into the old guy-next-to-me’s lap…I was not safe here! So for the next hour, every 2-3 minutes I braced myself against the rocks and tried not to go flying with each wave.
Once we were done trying to wipe all the sand off of us and all of our belongings…we were off to get ready for our safari dinner!
And the most delicious and beautiful dessert ever!
