The Wave

Yesterday we went to The Wave water park in Vista. It was military appreciation day, so Peter's brother Chris, got in for free and the rest of us got in for half price. We had quite a group. There were Peter's parents, his sister Laurel, Chris and Mary and their three girls-5, 2 1/2 and 10mos, Debbie-she's a lifeguard and friend of his parents, and Peter and I. The Wave is a small water park with four slides, a lazy river, a big pool and a children's play place. In the middle of the lazy river is a place to boogie board on waves.
Now Peter comes from a family that has really really white skin. Peter once got sun burned at work during a fire drill. So his brother Chris faces the sun and gets a little pink. Peter wore a shirt the whole time and he's okay but we forgot to sunscreen his head, so that's a little pink. His dad on the other hand wore sweat pants, a long sleeved shirt and a hat-he survived, he's still whiter than white.
We spent most of our time in the lazy river and on the slides. There were three inner tube slides and those were pretty fun. By the time we wanted to go down the body slide, it had closed, but Mary said it wasn't that fun, she somehow flipped over and came out face first, she really didn't like that. Anyway the lazy river was pretty lazy. Little Claire-10mos. fell asleep and spent a few hours napping on the lazy river. She somehow managed to stay asleep as we passed her around from inner tube to inner tube. She was in a life jacket and had a floppy hat on. We all wished we had a camera with us.
