Raging Waters...

Raging Waters is one of those places that attracts all kinds of people... kind of like the State Fair. Some have massive tattoos, some are wearing swimsuites that reveal a bit too much, and others I wonder how they could be seeing the sun for the first time of the summer.

I also believe Raging Waters brings people together. It's ok to be 30 years old and standing in line with 12 year old boys, 50 year old men and mothers with their small children. So the 5 amigos (Casey, Kate, Lisa, Scott and I) set off for an exciting day that consisted of Waimea Waves, Blue Thunder, White Lightening, Serpentine Slides, The Rampage and the Acapulco Cliff Dive. This was not a day to lay out and relax... this was a day to ride the rides (have I mentioned that I'm pretty scared of things like this?).

Funny moments of the day consisted of us riding out the wave pool (at least 10 times) without tubes... almost drowned, but continued to do it over and over again until all our strength was gone. Watching Casey pull himself across the rope ladder. Watching Scott and Kate play stiff as a board in the water. Me never making it down the slide still in-tact with the tube. Kate has also written about raging waters experience... which I cannot duplicate... so get the whole story at singletonliving.blogspot.com.

Needless to say, we had a great time... but not without injuries. Lisa and Scott hit heads on the double tubes, Casey hit his nose and scraped up his feet, Kate... well she landed on her not-small chest and me? well I broke a couple of toes... on the 2nd ride...

Was it worth it? Absolutely.
