Awesome Water Park

by: Michelle Ream

What?! You didn't go to the water park? Who goes to Kalahari & doesn't visit the water park with their friends?! It's the most awesome indoor water park around!

Of course, many do visit the water park all weekend. In fact, who out there skips sleeping in or meals to get that extra hour in the water? I know some of you who do.

By far, my favorite is the "family toilet"! So, as soon as lunch was over, my small group & I headed straight there. The line was long but we are never short on things to talk about, so that helps time pass quickly. The closer to the top we got, the more we laughed & talked about last year's ride on the giant toilet! I'm sure the life guard at the top has heard his share of giggles & screams from those of us who just can't help it. The anticipation builds, the slide is fast, water splashes everywhere, but you don't want to be the person going backwards at all!! Our group was going so fast that we went around "the bowl" 3 times before shooting out the bottom & into the pool below. Now we all know that everyone watching at the bottom is a little jealous of how much fun you seem to be having & they secretly hope that their trip from the top to the bottom is just as awesome as yours. Thanks girls for the ride!!

On the the wave pool, which when visited with the right people, can be hilarious. Not only is it fun to float around in the waves, but really- who doesn't like watching everyone else and the faces that they make. Now that's great!

The slides, the coaster(which was broken when we tried to ride), and the racing slides add to your fun for the day. And about that lazy river... if you are fortunate enough to get in when you can actually see water, then it's your lucky day. IF NOT, well when half of the water park tries to cram in with you and there isn't even room for your raft to lay flat, maybe they should change the name OR you should try again another time. Just ask the girls,if nothing else we laughed at the craziness.

So, bring on Kalahari '10 & if you have yet to dive into the water, grab a few friends and give it a try. You won't be disappointed and you too can talk for the rest of the year about the family toilet. Now what a great topic of conversation!!
