Some of the favorites include the 23,000 sq. ft. wave pool and the Hubba Bubba highway (kick back and enjoy the winding river like water way). Big Daddy Falls simulates white water rafting and is a fun group experience. The most daring riders take on The Aquazoid, Meltdown, Wild Thang and Jet Stream. The names speak for themselves.
The park is filled with tasty restaurants and outdoor pavilions. Apparently there weren't any Teen USA contestants to be found... Ahhhhh... poor guys, I hope they weren't too let down. Just goes to show, you can't believe every rumor you hear!
The last stop on the water park tour? The famous CANDY STORE! This tradition has gotten so popular Coach Alexander had to set up a schedule. Each year the teams would pile into the candy store so that the campers could spend the last of their cash on bulk candy. The buses would end up leaving the park late due to the back up at the store. Yesterday, each team had a designated time they were to visit the store. If they missed their time, they missed their candy. It made for a much smoother departure from the park. GENIUS!!!
As I watched the guys arrive back on campus and head to dorm I noticed they were exhausted. My guess is they were pretty wound up on the bus ride home due to the sugar rush so by the time they reached Orange, they were ready to crash. I bet they all slept well last night.
Hopefully that's true, because we're back at it today with morning games beginning at 9am. All is well here at the Forest. Enjoy your day.
