Observations at the water park

This past weekend my family and I visited one of those huge indoor water park resorts. I wanted to pass along the things that made my observation list.

1. If while you are at said park a grown man says "Watch this!" if it is only for pure entertainment purposes you should indeed watch as someone is going to get hurt!

2. It should really be a prerequisite when getting a tattoo for the tattoo artist to provide some sort of proof before the artwork is emblazoned on your skin for all to see. As there is no turning back once they are done and there is apparently no such thing as tattoo spell check.

3. I found myself completely frightened not of the big huge hairy man with his wife/girlfriend's name tattooed on his back but of his wife/girlfriend without even laying eyes on her.

4. Some things should definitely have a weight limit. Bikinis, lower back tattoos, belly rings, those tight swim shirts that men wear. (In reference to the latter....Sir, if your swim shirt keeps popping up exposing your 9 month pregnant looking belly...take the stupid thing off and hand it to the three year old boy it is supposed to fit.)

5. If you hear a bell at anytime whilst visiting the water park be very aware of your surroundings.

6. 1,000 gallons is a lot of water and will knock you down that is why they ring the bell in the first place.

7. If there is a ride that involves a water jet that allows for surfing or wave boarding pull yourself up a chair and enjoy the wipe outs. As it is very comical to watch completely over confident men and women face plant in rapidly running water. The kids are not as funny but comical just the same.

8. There is a huge crack problem at all water parks that has nothing to do with drugs.

9. Watching a huge hairy giant scary man sit in a 1/2 foot of water and play with his infant is adorable and also quickly reminded me that you can never judge a book by its cover.

10. I hope when I am older if the good Lord blesses me with grandchildren I am the type of grandparent that slaps on a swimsuit letting all my old parts hang where they may going on all the rides with my grandchildren rather than the type that stays completely dressed and sweats to death in a corner.

Such a wonderful memory for my family, what is your favorite family vacation spot?
