water park!

so the water slides i like to ride are big and bad ass. i like to have the crap scared out of me. i've never seen one like this one to the left, and it looks pretty bad ass. check out that pool at the bottom. i'm thinking it has to be a photoshop.

...

we went to a place called schlitterbahn in galveston while we were visiting db2's family over the weekend in texas. they have the bomb lazy river ... because you can veer off in your inner tube and be in the not-so-lazy river that is known as "torrent river."

they ain't lyin. it can be a bumpy ride. db2's sister swore up and down that she almost drowned after tipping off her tube. needless to say, the rest of us had a wild time.

this weekend we're off to wet 'n wild emerald pointe. while at schlitterbahn, we rode something that looks like this. this is the slide that is also at emerald pointe in greensboro. this is the slide that made me exclaim, "OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW SO MUCH WATER COULD GO THERE!" and also almost ripped off my future sister-in-law's bikini top. i'm totally stoked.

this picture just does not do this slide justice. it does not show you just how high up it is. and you don't realize it until you're peering over the side and the lifeguard shoves you.

you're screaming, there's water going places it shouldn't, and then you're done. you get up, and water is coming out of you for much longer than you think is female-y possible. but you want to do it again.

and that's why we're going to the water park again this weekend.
