It has been unseasonable cold this month so I have decided to be warm, by thinking warm thoughts. If I lay back, close my eyes, and focus hard enough I can picture myself lying in front of the wave pool at Water Country USA, with the sun pouring down on me. Oh … and it’s hot. Really hot.
I can feel the raft splashing around as we race down Aquazoid and Big Daddy Falls. The water cooling me off from the hot sun as we round each corner, and the splash at the end is so refreshing.
Then I’m floating around Hubba Hubba Highway. The water is warm and the sun is bright. My boys are laughing and enjoying the ride around. Zachary (my 3 year old) loves to paddle like he is riding a bicycle. At the beginning of the summer he clung to me while we rode around, but now he says, “Don’t hold me mom.” I keep him within arms length, and I can hear him laughing and paddling.
These warm thoughts are a temporary escape from the cold. I’m so excited to reopen for the 2011 season at Water Country USA. Until then, I hope all of you are staying warm.
