Water Park

Okay, so we all nine of us got in 2 cars and drove all the way to Independence Kansas to go the the waterpark up there and literally the MINUTE we pulled into the parking lot it started raining. No big deal...everyone is still enjoying the water so we unload 100 bags, 5 kids, 4 adults, put sunscreen on everyone, put swim diapers and swimsuits on come on inside only to have them blow the whistles as we are paying, for a "safety break" totally unrelated to the weather and assured us that at 3:15 everyone would be allowed back in the water. Well, at 3:15 it begins the DOWN pour of all time and they come over the loud speaker to tell us that the park is closed till 4 but then they will evaluate the weather and let everyone know at 4. So, we are all standing there in the rain with all of our stuff and all of us getting soaking wet and we hadn't even so much as stuck our toes in the water yet. At 3:59 they say the park is closed for the day and at 4:02 OF COURSE the sun is out and the rain is stopped....but they still close the park. So we drove all the way to Kansas for nothing and everyone is loaded with sunscreen and swim diapers and all for NOTHING....nothing.....nothing....ugh!
So, I am quite sad about that. We should have just gone yesterday...but we didn't and so now we didn't do anything. But I decided we were going to atleast get a chocolate dipped cone on the way home because we don't have Dairy Queen in Bville...and I love me a chocolate dipped cone. Then we drove home....in the rain.
