Ocean Breeze Water Park Day Five

Yesterday we went to Ocean Breeze Waterpark. They had lots of fun rides and a big wave pool in the center. One of my favorite rides was the Bamboo Shoots. It was an orange tube that dropped you off. They had smaller green ones and longer faster orange ones. One orange one had a curve at the end that would send you flying off into the air and you had a feeling of weightlessness before you SPLASHED into the water. They also had rides to go on with a tube, those rides were really fun, though the lines were a bit longer. I went on a ride called the Hurricane that was really fun. The line was quite long, but it was totally worth it for the 10 seconds of complete thrill that it gave us. It sent you down a very, very long slide going so fast it felt like your brains were going to shoot out your face. Then you entered into this big toilet bowl and spun around like three times before dropping into this giant ditch that dropped you into an eight foot pool.

In the wave pool they had a contest of who could make the best cannonball. Aidan entered that contest. The first round half the people got kicked off for smallish cannonballs, Aidan stayed. The second round 4 people were left, they had audience cheers to judge who would stay. The two people left were this big tall person and little Aidan, who had almost the same size cannonball and was 2 feet shorter. The cheers were close, and at the very end they did a cannonball to see who would win and then they would do a final cheer. They both did really nice cannonballs but when they came back up there with cheers, Aidan WON! He did a victory cannonball. He won a watermelon flavored smencil (a smencil is a pencil made of recycled paper that smells.) Watermelon happens to be his favorite flavor.

It was one of my best days, we had a lot of fun and it helped the awesomeness that they had a giant gorilla in the parking lot.

PS If you want to see the giant gorilla "humongous" I'm pretty sure he is in my pictures from Virginia Beach from last year.
