Well, I don't have any pics to go along with this one... I didn't really feel good about bringing an expensive camera into a water park full of strangers ;) Oh well, it was quite fun anyway. It was Law Enforcement Appreciation Night. All law enforcement, EMTs, Firefighters, etc. were able to get in for $10 for the whole family. A great deal, since it usually costs a small fortune to get into Roaring Springs. The only downside was that it didn't start til 8pm and it's been fairly cool the last few days until today of course. So it was a bit chilly, but very fun. We went on the Avalanche, where my heart jumped through my mouth... I had to go down backwards since I'm the lightest and what a scary feeling to be tipping over the edge and then all of a sudden you're just dropping... what a thrill... I'm not sure my neck appreciated it too much though :) We went into the wave pool, floated the endless river, rode the Viper Vortex.... all in all a very fun evening. My hubby is wonderful to take me on fun surprises like that. We met our friends KJ & Cassie there and besides the fiasco at Shari's restaurant afterwards, the night was quite enjoyable.
We went to Shari's once we left Roaring Springs to get some hot chocolate (since we all were freezing) and something to eat. Unfortunately, we encountered the worst service EVER! I asked for decaf coffee to mix with my hot chocolate. 30min later, neither our food nor my coffee had come to the table... neither had our waiter... not one stop by the table to check on us. Finally Sage asked another waitress to get my coffee...which was cold :p At the 45 min mark our waiter finally came by, saying nothing about our food, but promising me a fresh cup of hot chocolate and the hot coffee. 10 min later there was still no food or fresh hot chocolate or waiter. We tracked down the manager and told him that we'd been waiting an hour for our order and he rushed off. 10 min later after no sign of the manager or waiter or food or hot chocolate we just up and left. We did pay for the one cup of hot chocolate; our waiter tried to blame the wait on the poor cook, but since the table by us got their food after just 20 min (and they ordered after us) we had to come to the conclusion that our waiter forgot to turn our ticket in and wouldn't own up to it. Needless to say we left Shari's at 12:15am very hungry, tired and a little irritated. We have all vowed never to return to Shari's again.
Even so, it was a night to remember :)
