Water World Wonders!!!

By: Elsa

I woke up in a flash. I just couldn’t wait for the big day ahead of me! I jumped out of my bed to go get dressed and to brush my teeth. Then, I started walking over to get some towels.

“We're going to Water World!” “We’re going to Water World!” I said out loud.

I was so excited for my 1st time going to Water World! I walked closer to the closet where the towels were.

In the background of my big thoughts, I could hear the sound of pancakes sizzling on the pan. Then Suddenly, I paused. I smelled the air.

“What’s that smell?” I said to myself.

Truly, I think I knew what the smell was. “Bacon!” “Bacon!” “Bacon!” I said excitedly.

I ran down stairs like a cheetah was chasing it’s prey. I quickly, grabbed a plate of pancakes and shoved them into my mouth. After, the amazing meal, I was standing over by the sink washing my hands, scrub after scrub. I quickly dried off my hands and ran towards the garage door.   

Me and my friends Anna and Kate, hopped into the car, excited for the big day. Finally, we started to drive off to Denver to go to Water World.

We all ran out of the car as fast as lightning can strike the ground. I ran towards the line, which was longer than I expected. Since Water World was not opened my friends and I decided to fight the boredom by talking. I was ecstatic to run and go enjoy the wonderful time at Water World with my family and friends.

Finally, Water World opened, but still we had to wait in line. When it was our turn we gave them the tickets and walked over to our cabana that  we rented. My friends and I looked around and saw the scenery. There in the scenery we saw the little wave pool and shops that you can buy treats at.

A few minutes later, we were walking over to the first few rides that were open at the time. My family, friends, and I rode the gondola to the other side of Water World. There we saw huge slides some steep, fast, and scary looking. We kept walking until, we walked upon a big slide colored yellow and orange. I could not believe my eyes. This was seriously one of the first rides that were open at the time.

“The Mile High Flyer here we come!” I said excitedly mouth wide open.

Like a lot of the rides there was a line which seemed to take long at the time. Finally, it was our turn. As we sat in the tube I could already sense the fun.

“Wahoo!” we all yelled.

When we ended the ride I couldn’t stop saying, “My favorite part was when it went pitch black.” The first ride of the day was so fun in fact, the slide had all kinds of water gadgets. It was awesome! So far I could tell that this trip is going to be one of the best!

I was pumped when I heard that the next slide was going to be about one of my favorite units of all, Ancient Egypt and Egyptian Mythology!

As we walked over to the next ride I enjoyed talking to my family and enjoying the view of the tall water slides! Now, we were at the top of the slide hopping into the tube. We started to ride the slide from top to bottom.

“We’re riding a wave!” “We’re riding a wave!” I proclaimed, making the words sound like a song.

Me and my family kept traveling across the rocks until we approached a big cave. Me and my family headed into the dark and mysterious cave.

Then, we saw them. There was these big sculptures of mummies and rulers of Ancient Egypt. I enjoyed the ride but, it wasn’t one of my favorites.

Clomp! Clomp! Me and my family walked across the sidewalk, and saw a tall slide that was in the shape of a toilet, colored yellow and blue. We walked up the stairs, one step at a time until we got at the top of the tall toilet slide.

“Wahoo!” everyone proclaimed in a delightful way heading down the big slide.

“Here comes the circle!” I blurted out.

In no time we were inside the toilet about to go down a hole. Splat! We landed in pool of water.

“That was so fun!” I yelled.

“Let’s do that again!” I said, looking back at the slide.

In a way sweet as honey my Mom answered back. “We’re going back to our cabana to have lunch.”

“Okay!” I responded back to my Mom.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

“The big wave pool!” “Let’s go!” “Let’s go!” my friends and I shouted.

Our parents said “yes!” We ran down the hot sidewalk with a big smile on our faces. I looked at the crystal blue water as I ran towards my friends. The waves were huge. I felt like I could relax on a float, feeling the water drip down my face.

As I walked over to the shore my head turned the direction of our cabana. My family and I started to walk towards our cabana on the hot sidewalk.

I stared at the little shops and restaurants until we got to our cabana. “Who wants lunch?” “We do!” everyone cheered.

Everyone ordered, and they said it would be about 30min. until the food would be here.

My friends and I were allowed to go in the tiny wave pool, so we did. We walked into the sparkling water. Waves were coming straight towards us. We all hopped over them with delight. “Anna, Elsa, and Kate the food is here.” We all ran to shore and over to the cabana.

We gobbled up the food and paused. Out of the corner of our eyes we saw a squirrel! We just couldn’t help it. We just had to feed it french fries.

After, our lunch we walked over to a ride called The Voyage to the Center of the Earth. We got an inner tube and waited and waited and waited until we were the next people in line. The people in charge of the ride gave us one big push and in the next minute we were riding down the slide.

When the ride ended I kept thinking that we were in a big cave with all these kinds of dinosaurs in our way! The next ride was a gray slide that was covered. When we walked up to the ride I was shivering with fear.

As we got up to the front of the line I was still shivering.

“I can do this, I did the other rides before.” “I’m sure I am capable of this, I’m just sure of it.” I thought in my head constantly.

“Are you ready?” my Mom called out. “Ya!?” I announced in a weird way.

The slide was like a tunnel as dark as a moving figure strolling across a dark and mysterious night. As we were traveling down the slide on the inner tube I could see lights that made it look like we were traveling through clouds of mist. The waves splashing against the inner tube made the inner tube feel like a ship out in the ocean smashing against waves. Up in the distance I saw a white light coming straight towards us. We came out of the big slide with a big splash!

“That was so fun!” I said with a huge smile across my face. “Can we do it again!?” “Can we do it again!?” I asked. “Hmmm.” “Let me think about that.” “Sure!” “Yayyy!” we all cheered.

We did the slide again and came back with another big splash and a huge smile on our faces. “We have to go back to the cabana now.” my Mom said. We slowly strolled back to our cabana, worn out by all of the fun.

“Do you guys want some more time?” “Yes!” we all cheered with excitement.

We walked over to the tiny wave pool, our feet touching the burning sidewalk. “They’re doing bodyboarding now!?” we all blurted out like we could read each other’s minds. “Should we go?” I said looking at my friends. “Sure, let’s go!”

We all walked over to the bodyboards. “Are you ready to ride some waves?” I said to my friends. With no hesitation they both agreed, “YES!”

I stared at the blue water looking at my reflection. “Let’s do this.” I thought to myself not looking back.

I took a few steps in, jumped, and let my body soar through the sky like a piece of paper drifting through the wind. As I came down into the water I could feel a soft breeze and I could hear birds chirping every which way my head turned.

Splash! I plopped into the water making a delightful splash. “Can we do that again?” I asked. “Ya, go ahead.” Our parents said.

We all grabbed a bodyboard and jumped into the crystal clear water ending the jump with a splash. All of us walked to the shore wet. I saw our parents walking over to us.

“Do you guys want Dippin Dots?” “Yes please!” we all said doing a little dance.

We ordered Dippin Dots and ate them. We each shared our flavors that we got.
“Do you guys want to try this?” I looked over my shoulder. “Sure.” I answered politely. “Do you like it?” our parents said. “Ya.” “It’s not one of the best though.” we all said.

We all started to walk over to the exit of Water World. I took a couple steps onto the parking lot and noticed that the big day was over. The big day where I went to Water World for the first time. I had fun though and that is the important part!
