--------------------------------------------------------
My Uncle Rodney woke us up early Saturday morning with a surprise: he was going to take us to the new water park in town! This was going to be the best day!
When we first arrived at the water park we tried to decide which ride to do first. I wanted to ride the tall slide, but my brother wanted to try the tubing. Uncle Rodney decided that we would do some of the easier rides first, and then I could do the tall slide at the end. We did the lazy river, some little slides, and we even tried out the boogie boarding area. Finally, Uncle Rodney told me I could try it. I zipped down through dark tunnels and sharp turns, and then finally dropped out of the bottom into a big pool. It was the best part of the day!
Uncle Rodney is so cool for taking us to the water park.
