Seven Peaks

The Pugmires offered us five free tickets to Seven Peaks this evening, for a company sponsored party.  We have been to Seven Peaks twice (maybe), and being there for a private party seemed like a good idea.  Kent didn't want to come, so I invited Mikayla and Brick to come.  Mikayla readily accepted, and off we went. 

Turns out, we weren't the only people invited to the "private party."  It was the busiest it's ever been when I've been there.  I guess I have chosen well our times to go, and avoided the crowds that could be there.  The lines for the slides were incredibly long.  They snaked all the way down to the first entrance ramp.  Rather than spend all our time standing around, we opted to go on the Avalanche slide, the blue and yellow striped slide with seven chutes all next to each other.  There was very little wait for this slide.  We stood at the bottom of the slide and waited for a group to come down, then took their mats and walked up to the top.  We passed lots of people.  We all went down at the same time, racing to see who was fastest and who went farthest.  We handed out mats off to those waiting at the bottom, then waited for the group behind us to come down and took their mats.  We repeated this five or six times, passing the same people waiting in line for the other slides over and over again.  We had way more fun than they did, even though their slides might have been more exciting.

We went around the lazy river twice, stayed for a round of waves in the wave pool, and then went home.  It was fun to be together, and so nice of the Pugmires to give us tickets.  It might, however, be the last time I do a "private event" at Seven Peaks.  Turns out, they are far from "private."
