My first amusement park and roller coaster!

    Yesterday I went on a church trip to Elitch Gardens in Denver.  It was my first time ever going to an amusement park and I rode my first roller coasters plus some great water rides.

   The very first thing we did was go straight to the Mind Eraser and rode that.  It was absolutely terrifying.  We rode it later in the day and it was way less scary and more fun.

    We took some other rides, headed back to the van for lunch, and then went to the water park.  It was 95 degrees out and the pavement was scalding on our bare feet.  My favorite rides were the giant red waterside and the new slidezilla.  

   The slidezilla is a 6 story whirlpool plus halfpipe with a gut wrenching drop.

    We spent hours at the water park before heading back to the amusement park to ride some last rides including twister 2 and the half pipe.  Twister 2 is really fun but a little nerve racking because it is almost completely wooden.  It was closed down for the first half of the day so somebody could put some more nails in it.  :/

    We met up with our group and headed out to chick-fil-a to eat and pretend we were spies.  Today I feel like I have had whiplash in almost every direction and I'm super sore.  It was a great experience though and I'm exited to do it again sometime.
