Blizzard Beach I

          We went to Blizzard Beach which was one of the two water parks that were part of Disney. Blizzard Beach is located near it's sister park Typhoon Lagoon and near the other Disney parks.  The theme of Blizzard Beach was warm wave pools like beaches and cool slides like skiing. When we got in we found a spot along the wave pool and got our sunscreen on because of the extreme sun and heat. Because the day was really warm we could play at the "ski resort" without getting cold. We swam in the wave pool for a few minutes before walking up the mountain. We walked up the mountain instead of taking the ski lift. We got up and took the family ride which was really fun. The rides were built on to the side of Mount Gushmore which made the slope of the rides. We got into a raft that held our whole family and went down small and gentle slopes. My mom was afraid of the dismount of the ride. She thought she was going to drown.  After that ride we rode it again but this time we used the ski lift. We were tired of being in the sun so went into the Cross Country Creek which was a slow river ride that you could swim and relax in.

         We got off at one of the stops and went on the red slope. We rode the River Rapids which was really fun. I went with my dad and my mom because we only rode the two seated ones. After riding the two seater we wanted to go single, so we started going single in the enclosed slide. I found that going by your self was much faster than going double. My sister and I really enjoyed this rides so we rode it about five times. After riding it many times we moved up the hill for our next ride. Unfortunately there was no lift that would bring us up. Our next ride, which was my personal favorite, was sliding on the mats. There were two slides you could go down. One was just going down turns and slopes and the other one was where you could race other people. My sister and I didn't do that well in the race because there were people that were larger than us who went farther and faster.
