Chapter 20. Lossing your top in TL
another morning of waking up bright and early. We were all up by 7:00 ready for another water park day this time it was to TL. Parker got his morning gift after he was ready to go.
and we hunkered down for our mickey pancakes.
here is parker getting his first mickey hot cakes of the trip.
on the bus over someone kept us entertained
when we arrived at the park at 8:30 we found out it was an unannounced EMH and the park was already open for us.
so we quickly threw our stuff in a locker and headed over to crush and gusher to make sure we got a ride on those incase the line was long later.
candi and i did all three slides first and then nana and papa did theres, while parker played in the shallow end of the pool
we then headed over to the family ride which theydidnt let our family all go in one tube, we had to split up so we took parker with us, he really liked it, but it was alot rougher than the one at BB so we only went on the one time with him.
next up candi, parker and i hit hte kiddie area, while nana and papa hit the few tube slides in the area, we both agreed that the kid area in TL was not very kid friendly for hte little ones, slides were too fast, alot of rough surfaces, and really just a place that you did not feel to comfortable with your little oneplaying in. i did have a water fight with parker on my side and the lifeguard against us, we would cover up the different holes on the spray cannons, and get an extra 15 feet of distance on the water, which would allow us to hit her at great distances...he had a good time with that one.
and in our defense, she started it, by showing us how to cover the holes and srayed us first while we were in the boat.
she is in the background of this picture behind nana and papa.
they took parker then and candi and i hit the tub slides next.
the lazy river was close so we all got on there next...this took a while to get a picture in cause people kept coming past, but we finally got a few.
next up was the shark reef, you wouldnt believe how many people ended up backing out of the line once they got there instructions and got htere feet inthe water, they would actually get there faces in see the sharks on the bottom and get out and leave....the lifeguards were getting mad at the guy giving instructions, because they said the people were not aware that there were actually fish in the tank.

what did they think shark reef meant and snorkling ment when they got there face mask.
anyway, in our group, he played it up a little to tease people and kept saying that snorkling has fish and there are fish in here, and so forth...i think it honked of the lifeguards more,
after that it was time, for lunch, no bird pooping in my pop this year, but the lady that was checking us out, did see parker and said hold on a minute, and ran to the counter and got him a play bucket and shovel that comes with the kids meal...he was sharing our lunchs and we still had plenty of food, but she insisted that all cute kids get buckets.
on the way back from lunch we decided to get a picture in front of hte wave crashing into us...we had a blast doing this and my parents loved it.
after this my parents left us to hit the crush and gusher again while we went to the other side of the wave pool to get another picture. as we were waiting on the group in front of us to get theres done. well to put it as best i can the girls in front of us were in there mid twenties, and lets just say they were pretty large up there and a when wave came so did there there tops right down, they popped out and they didnt realize it. not sure if they couldnt feel it or what, but the photo pass person was like ummmmm,....and trying his best to tell them without just blurting it out...you know doing the whole hand jesture thing, kind looking down and saying ummmm.... with the motion and such.
finally they realized and were very embarrased, and then was the whole trying to cover em up while putting em away motions that was not done very smoothly.
made us wonder, i wonder if they allow them to get them on there photopass card,of there are workers that screen the cards and and delete them.
so with headlights put away it was time for our picture...the funny thing about this was, when you get your photopass pictures back, it puts them in order based on the time they were taken, well my parents happened to get this shot in right between ours, our picture was taken then it shows theres, then ours with the wave hitting us.
our picture in the water.
there picture on the walkway.
we met up with them in the shallow area of the crush in gusher when they were done...and let parker play with his new bucket and shovel inthe water.
he would dump water on top of nana, and then laugh up a storm,
then he thought he had to get papa as well.
lucky for him he was standing taking pictures.
we were all getting a little tired at this point so we packed our things up and headed back to the camper.
we relaxed a little at the trailer and showered up before our dinner plans at chef mickeys
