(warning...this one's gunna be a LONG one...)
i had BUNCHES of fun the past few days at schlitterbahn with the chasons and gnatzigs and kim. YAY YAY YAY!!! i'll post pictures later, but i'm on a different computer right now, so when i get a chance (and find all my stuff) i'll do that. *sigh* i don't even really know where to start talking.
SUNDAY: i left to go to the chason's (where we were meeting) and passed by 7 cops on stuebner airline. how crazy is THAT?! anyway, so i got there and mr. chason opened the door. he doesn't like me much, so he opened it and said "what are you doing here?" it was a great way to start off the trip...let me tell ya. anyway, we left at 2:00 (i rode with mrs. gnatzig, jordyn, and kayla) and got to the hotel at 5:30-ish, i think. vanessa was already there because she had a wedding saturday in austin, so we met up with her, decided where everyone was going to sleep, and went to dinner at apple bees; it was across the fence from the hotel. austin and i got REALLY excited because we thought we were going to get to jump the fence, but crazy enough, there was a walkway that went from the hotel to the restraunt. *sigh* anyway, so austin and i are back in our "club" so we're moping around a bit and decide to order the same thing (fried chicken salad with honey mustard dressing). oh my GOODNESS...ok, so the waiter was NOT nice to me at all. he kept giving me dirty looks and saying stupid things to me...and we think he was hitting on austin because austin ordered a "wild cherry coke" and when austin asked for a refill, the guy was like "i'll give you the WIIIILD stuff." can you say DI-STURB-ING DISTURBING! (haha...gotta be "in" to understand that one.) anyway, the weather outside was looking REALLY nasty with high winds and lots of rain, thunder and lightning going out of control, stuff like that...the waiter gives me a dirty look and *surprise* the lights go out. WE LOST ELECTRICITY IN APPLEBEES AFTER THE WAITER GAVE ME A DIRTY LOOK! try to convince me that it's not a coincidence. haha...i think NOT! but...yeah. ok, so when we were trying to leave, the rain was POUNDING down but we decided to make a run for it since it was, say, 100 meters at MOST from the door to the cover of the hotel. totally SOAKED! haha...but it sure was fun. the electricity at the hotel was out, too, so vanessa and mrs. chason went to the front desk to inform them that room 143's electricity was out and to see if the management could get it fixed as soon as possible. (side note--i love those two!)
after dinner austin and i were bored because no one else wanted to do anything (and someone hadn't called me yet) so we decided to waste time by skipping, prancing, and running in the rain...and around the hotel. we probably ran around the building a million times, the stopped by vanessa's room to see if she wanted to come with us. she's soooo much fun that she came with us upstairs, down the halls, around the hotel and got busted with us when we got yelled at for being too loud. mr. chason got mad at us, too, because "people were trying to sleep" even though it was only 8:30...granted it DID look and feel about 11 because it was sooo dark and we had no electricity. but we were having fun. (e-it kinna reminded me of the run around campus that we did at school in the rain!) ok...so after that vanessa, mrs. chason and i went to buy some candles or flashlights so we could see since it didn't appear that the lights were coming back on anytime in the near future. we went to the shell station down the street and mrs. chason paid the guy $5 for his flashlight since they didn't have any extras! then we went to hastings to buy some more flashlights and see if they had candles. well, mrs. chason went in (she was the only one with shoes...surprised?!) and the people working said that they don't sell candles and they didn't have flashlights. L-I-A-R-S LIARS! they had one candle and mrs. chason snached it for us...only to find out that the electricity had come back on at the hotel while we were gone...and management had gone room-to-room giving out candles to people who wanted/needed them. oh...mrs. chason put together "goody bags" for us and inside she included pajamas (matching) and a camera. well, since i brought my digital camera, i haven't opened or used my camera yet, but the pjs we all wore the first night. i'll put the picture up as soon as i load them to my computer. we all have on grey shirts but the guys have matching pj pants and there are two different pairs of pj shorts for the girls. jordyn and kayla got pink ones and vanessa, kim, caroline and i have light green ones. they're really cute and it was really thoughtful of mrs. chason to put something like that together for us. i just feel bad for not having something for everyone as well. but...anyway, we took a picture on sunday night with everyone dressed alike.
MONDAY: we woke up at 7:30 to get ready for schlitterbahn. good thing it rained the night before, because when we woke up it was FREAKING 68 DEGREES!!! i was freeeeeeeezing when i went outside to help caroline get ice for the cooler...for the drinks for lunch at schlitterbahn. it was insane. we were all a little afraid that it was going to be a really cold day and that it might rain again and that it wasn't going to be much fun. but, thank goodness, when we got there it was still freeeeeezing, the water (straight from the river) was freezing, we went on the long rides first, and there was barely any sun...ANYWHERE! haha...j/k i had lots of fun...for the most part on monday at schlitterbahn on both sides. haha...ok...so we were at the old section first and one of the rides we went down was head-first on a little foam pad-ish-type thing. caroline and gary went in front of austin and i and i told caroline to tell me how scary it was when she got to the bottom. she got down there and yelled up that it was really scary so, of course, i didn't want to go anymore. austin and the lifeguard, however, convinced me to go down and...I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!! my little foam-ish thing went WAY off the slide and i really, honestly thought i was going to fly off. it was soo scary. and i was going head-first too...into cold water...AHHHH!!! but it was SOOO much fun. we wanted to do it again, but decided to do it later (which we didn't do). then we went to the "new section" of the park and rode some fun things over there. the lines were SOOO much longer. we did the boggie bahn and...lots of fun stories from this one. i think all 4 of the girls (kim, vanessa, caroline and me) lost our tops in one form or the other. vanessa's fell down (she had a tube top type suit) as soon as she left the slide and went to the water, mine went up as soon as i hit the water, caroline lost hers somewhere in there (along with the bottoms) and kim's went up when she got to the water as well. that's not a very safe ride for two-piece-wearing girls. one-pieces should be the only kind of suit worn on that ride (note to self).
uh...after schlitterbahn we ordered pizza and had pizza and cokes....then came "chubby bunny". see...we had ALL these marshmellos and decided to play chubby bunny. if you don't know what it is, ask me and we'll play it sometime! anyway, we're going along (i'm saying "mastication" because that's what's really happening) and after 5 marshmellos, austin can't take anymore (one went too far back in his mouth) and he started gagging. good thing we had the trashcans ready, because he went from gagging to getting rid of the mellos to throwing up everything he'd eaten that day. (lovely thought, i know.) good thing i was sitting right next to him. YUCK! and the smell... we had to spray some country apple body splash to try to get rid of the smell of vomit in our room. needlesstosay, i won chubby bunny by default because everyone else either threw theirs up or spit them out. YAY FOR BEING CHUBBY BUNNY CHAMPION! j/k gary would have won if he hadn't spit his stuff out because i was about to lose it. then we went to sleep...
TUESDAY: we woke up at 8 to get packed up and ready for the second day of schlitterbahn. we went to the third part of the park on tuesday and started the day off with master blaster. good ride, but if we hadn't gotten there when we did, i don't think i would have waited that long in line for it. i got sick after being in the "wave river" a little too long, but everything's ok. i wish i could remember everything that happened on the trip, but sadly enough, i really can't. *sigh* well, we left schlitterbahn at 3:30 (i think) and got home around 7 so i called and planned some stuff and...yeah.
I GOT MY PAYCHECK TODAY!!! 26 hrs in 3 days...$180 (before taxes). wow...that's NIIIICE!! :-D i'm working some more, too, but don't know when and don't know all the details yet. it's nice to have money coming in again.
anyway, i'm tired and i'm getting hungry...again...so i'm going to go do something else. hope you enjoyed reading it feel free to leave comments if i left anything out!
