Seven Peaks


so one of the benifits of working at trafalga is that i get a free season pass to seven peaks because they are owned by the same person i also get two free day passes with each pay check so this last saturday i was extremely bored and did not want to work on homework so i decided to go to seven peaks the only glitch is that i had no one to go with and its not one of those places that you go alone cause then you end up looking like a loser and like most people i try to avoid that my first thought was to go with my brother but he was doing some extreme scout challenge so then i called a friend to see if she was in town for the weekend but alas she was not then my thoughts turned to my neice of thirteen she is taller then i am and i like hanging out with her so i tried calling my sister to see if her daughter was available (she is a teenager so she has issues with staying off of restriction) i could not get a hold of my sister so i had my other sister go over there to see what the deal was well it turns out she was mowing her lawn it turned out that my neice already had plans with one of her plans but she canceled them to hang out with me actually she just wanted to go to seven peaks because she had never gone before but i like to say she came jsut for me two of her younger sisters also had passes to the water park due to being excelent readers while at school so the four of us started off for the park we did stop by the gas station becuse my gas light had been on for the last two days then we stopped by wally world to get some lunchables while there we were offered free samples of some healthy yougurt bar or something but we used the the little cups they came in as little hats my neices had some issues keeping them on there head well we picked up our lunchables mine was pizza sarahs (the oldest) was crackers sandwithces so was her sisters katy's ellies the youngest got nachos we decided to eat them on the way to the park because they do not let you bring food in it is quite difficult to make and eat pizza while trying to drive a car on the freeway so i made sarah make it for me when we finnally got to the park and layed all of our stuff out and got all sun screened we were all ready to start the fun we started by doing all the tube rides it was perfect we never really had to wait in any lines which was strange since it was a saturday after the tube rides we did this one slide where we race each other then sarah and i decided to do the high slides there are three of them the first is just sort of bumpy so we did that one first then we went up to do the scary ones you just drop straight down we got to the slide and sarah was like i am so not going and i was like yea you are and she was like heck no and i was like come on you got to try anyway we went on for like five minutes then i was like ok ill just go then i was kind of sad that she wasnt going cause i knew she would have fun but when i got to the bottomand looked back up i saw her standing there so i waved for her to come down and to my great surprise i saw her jump up on the slide and come on down i was so proud but im not going to lie when she came off the top her arms and legs came apart and it scared the crap out of me but she was fine and had fun so we went back up and did the last slide the one that scares me the most because you start in a tunnle and then you drop out of it going straight down but we both did it and yes these slides give you major wedgies but it was fun i was so proud of my thirteen year old neice for doing something my sixteen year old neice couldnt dot the year before after that we did all the tube rides again went to the wave pool and the lazy river and just everthing well when we were all tired we were on our way out of the park when i saw a sign for funnel cake and of course i had to stop and get some it was a really fun day
