elfsI took the family to Wild Waves as part of the annual Play Hooky day. I deserved a day off; life has been just a little stressful between the backlog at work and some legal crap and just general life.
We met our twelve or so compatriots at the gate:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tabbifli had bought tickets already with talek. kendaer was there, as was the very lovely V with her two delightful children, fallenpegasus, lisakit, and a few others whose names I know but won't freely deploy in public.
Kouryou-chan and friend We did the dry runs first. Kouryou-chan was finally tall enough to go on most of the rides, and as you can see she had a heck of a good time, enjoying them all. Her reaction to the roller coaster was "That was fun! That was it?" Yeah, kid, that's about it: less than sixty seconds.
Lunch was greasy, but you expect that from a theme park.
After lunch, we did the water rides. Omaha and I managed to foist Kouryou-chan off on V, and after going around the silly river thing a few times we did the white water rides. I caught up with V and her kids and mine, and ended up with one of hers and mine over at the wave pool. Eventuallyfallenpegasus and lisakit took Kouryou-chan over to the hot tubs and I ended up with one kid who wasn't even mine.
Eventually, we got the kids sorted out and I sat in the hottub withlisakit, honoring Heinlein and giving her a footrub. There was more time in the river loop, more time with the children, and I got a horrific sunburn. Yeah, I doubled my chances of skin cancer, again.
Dinner was at the Olive Garden, where everyone looked very tired, but happy. All in all, a good time.
