Summer Adventures and UTIs

At the beginning of August I took Brad, Blake, Gwen & Maddie
to Seven Peaks Water Park in Provo.
It was IHC Day and very crowded,
but we were determined to go on some waterslides.
The kids talked me into going on the one called "Free Fall"
which is the blue slide in the background.
All four kids went down and then it was my turn.
The lifeguard girl instructed me to not push off,
but just put my hands behind my head and cross my legs.
I did as I was instructed and promptly got stuck
in the tube portion of the slide.
I couldn't go back to the start and all I could see
was an hole at the end with sky showing --
and I knew it dropped off at 90 degrees!
My only option was to keep trying to
push myself forward to the drop off!
This process took forever and I dreaded what was ahead.
Finally I made it to the hole and fell!
The only problem was when I hit the water at the bottom
my modest one piece suit became a thong!
This mortified my children who instructed me later
that I was supposed to pull it out of my "crack" before standing up!

Who Knew!?!
