Summer Fun?

We went to Magic Waters yesterday. Josh was able to do more of the water rides but really enjoyed the body slides. Those are not my favorites. We also enjoyed a roller coaster ride that splashes you as you go over the hills and dive into water. You go over 4-5 hills and have a blast. You are flying out of your seat when you go over the hills and I swear you feel like you will end up sideways. Well not necessary sideways but for someone, he ended up backwards.

Yep, Brandon somehow and someway on the 4th hill came over and started going backwards... the whole tube turned around. Luckily it didn't flip. The Magic Waters personnel told me that it has never happen before. The water ride shut down instantly and he was locked at the bottom of the hill. I think that scared him more than being shoved backwards.

I was waiting on the side and saw Josh with another Dad from our group go up the hill and it had stopped. Then I looked around and wondered where Brandon was. Some girls were walking down and I thought maybe they got scared. Then I notice the lifeguard go over to another location and I watched and then I notice Brandon. He came out of the splashed baster and I waved and he came up running and crying. The lifeguard didn't say boo to me so I asked him what had happened and he said he was going backwards. So then I walked over to find out what had happened and found out that because Brandon had gone backwards it had shut the ride down. Then the Lead person came over and talked with Brandon who looked like he had no clue at what had happen. She sent us to the Medical tent to be checked out. It was a bit scarey for a moment, but I knew Brandon was ok so I didn't panic or worry. I am just curious as to what could have happen. I mean the wind had to be just so and Brandon had to be in the air and water hitting at such a time... unbelievable.

The only thing that makes me a bit upset was the lack of concern the first lifeguard had for Brandon and sent him on his way. She just open the gate and waved him away. I held Brandon and walked over to find out what had happen with him. As I was walking up I heard her saying that kid went backwards... like he did it on purpose. I mean he could have but I don't think he did or would know how. Luckily I went back to talk with the lifeguards and when the lead person came over the lifeguard pointed out Brandon. Had I not come back the lead lifeguard would have not been able to talk to Brandon and me and have us sent to the medical tent.

When we got to the medical area they asked Brandon if he was hurt and he pointed to his skinned knee. However, the knee was from earlier like 2 hours ealier from the water bucket... but they fixed that boo boo.
