2nd day to lost island!

It was a damp misty morning.  No birds chirping or cars speeding.  But today was supposed to be a joyous day.  For I was going to Lost Island.  Lost island is a water park 2 hours and 30 minutes from my house.  So i was going there for the second time!  The plan was simple I was going to the place with me, my mom, my dad,  my uncle John, and my cousin Jenny.  The first time  i was there was a huge success!  we had tons of fun.  Like one time two lifeguards wrestled each other into a tubing slide!  I was hoping for some awesome stuff to happen like that to this time.  But of course I was horribly horribly horribly wrong.  So we were driving in my dads grey car when it started raining.  Now i know what your thinking oh boohoo its just a little rain hows it going to ruin your fun.  Well just keep reading and ill tell you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  We drove about 20 minutes from our house when it started pouring! And I mean huge thundering rain drops were pounding on the ground like it was drums.  The wind started howling and the trees started shaking and shivering like they were doing a disco dance.  Eventually we had to take shelter behind a big building with a red brick roof called Casey's.  Well we were listening to the news in the car when we heard the ear pericing tornado siren.  I usually don't get freaked out by tornadoes unless their heading straight towards me so I wasn't really that worried.  Like I said we were in the car but now it started pouring and not just rain but hail.  Pretty darn big ones to about the size of a half paper crumbled up.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Eventually the storm passed by and my mom wanted to go home.  But my Uncle John really wanted to go and said some scientific stuff.  Well anyway short version we kept driving.  Yeah so it was a long ride but hey you'd think it would be worth it.  Yeah well....no.  OK now we made it, made it to Lost Island that is.  But then when we got in the water we'd known we'd made a big mistake.  The water was freezing!  It was so cold it could have been fit for a penguin.  But we still went we could survive the cold!  We started to go on two tubing slides called jade and emerald adventure.  They are two green twisty turquoise slides that are two of my favorites.  Oh no those weren't all the slides though and we all went on the bright as sun huge ginormous yellow slide!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We waited in line for about 30 minutes when a huge menacing black cloud came.  So sadly we had to get down.  We ran for shelter as the big look like it would've been in  an end of the world movie dark menacing cloud came.  We took shelter under one of the tiki with straw roofs. huts so after 20 minutes we got back in.  You'll hear and feel these things when you go on it.  Swish,  swoosh,  scream, splash.  So I had a quite a big of fun and I think everyone else did to.  We rode the other twin slides that I completely forgot the names of but I remember that they are pink and purple.  Those were extremely fun but John wasn't satisfied.  He wanted to go on Lost Soul Falls.  Last time I went here I was the first to go on it but with the weather and all I didn't really feel like it.  So when he went on it and came down we all started to go on the racing slide!  It was a dark red and dark purple slide that was made for racing.  You go on a blue pad and slide on your stomach.  Its a dark tunnel in the beginning and you go out of the tunnel and go down some lumpy stairs they'll tell you what your time is.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The next slide was kiwi Journey.  That was one of my favorite slides to.  You are inside the tunnel for a lot of the time but then you go out and then in an then out and then in and then you get out and splash into the water.  Well ill go by saying we rode some of the same slides again and it was fun but I was freezing.  I really wanted to go home because it was cold windy and really I preferred a heated house or car any day.  So we eventually left and yes it got worse from there by a lot.  We were in the car enjoying some delicious snacks we brought and drunk thirstily as the cool drinks ran down our throats.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     That's when we started driving.  Again it started raining and get this,  the first storm was actually the easy one we were facing the second wave and the harder one right now!  Sure enough it was true.  The rain started thumping and the wind started moaning the trees were shattered and flying everywhere.  Again we had to go take shelter but that shelter didn't last very long especially since there was a tree right next to us.  Now after a long time we finally made it home on our way though we saw broken trees and broken houses and even a few dead cows.  So I got home and I'm not saying you shouldn't go to Lost Island.  I'm just saying don't go to a water park on a stormy day.
