It was a good day so far. We were on our way to Coco Key water park in Boston Massachusetts. Mom had surprised us. We had no clue where we were going until yesterday afternoon. When we got there we changed at the bathroom and headed to look for a spot. It was really crowded but we eventually found a spot by the kiddy pool.
Dad, Charlotte, Lillie, and her friend Avery went to the slides first. The reason I didn't go was because I wanted to see if the slides were fun or too scary. Mom and I waited in the hot tub then the lifeguard came over and kicked out everyone who was under fifteen. Mom and I decided we were too bored to wait so we went on the slides without waiting for Dad or Lillie's opinion.
We did slide number four together in a double tube. It was pretty fun. We decided to go on again, so we did slide number three together. I didn't like slide number three because it was dark and made me dizzy. Mom didn't like it for the same reason.
Mom started talking to a friend from high school and then saw another friend from high school. I told mom I was going on a slide alone. I went on slide number four a couple dozen more times more times, then I decided to do a “body slide” where you do not need a tube. I did the body slide called Gator Gush which was like number four except you need a tube on number four. The body slides were really tight but still fun.
On the second run some kid asked if I wanted to race. I said yes and when the life guard gave us the signal I got into gator gush and pushed off at the same time as the kid. When we got to the pool at the bottom, the kid and I had tied. I did the slide a dozen more times until someone got on the intercom and announced that the water park was closed.
We were the last ones out of the building. We hopped into our car and roared away. I fell asleep on the ride home. Charlotte said she was awake the whole ride home but we knew she was lying because we could hear her snoring. All in all we had a fun time.
