Billings

Last Sunday we left for Billings Montana. It was about a 2 hour drive and went a lot faster then we expected. We left at about noon after grabbing a quick lunch from McDonald's. We had each packed a swimsuit, pj's, and a pair of clothes for the next day. When we arrived at the hotel we went to the room threw on our swimsuits and headed straight for the reef which is the water park attached to the hotel. We grabbed the free tubes and headed for the water slides. They have two bigger slides. One you can use a tube and the other is to small to have a tube with you. I grabbed a two person tube and handed it to my dad to carry up the long flight of stairs to the top of the slides. Once we arrived at the top there was a some what long line so we uncomfortably stood for about five minuets directly under the air conditioner. As we got in the tubes my dad pushed us forward and we were off. The slide wisted a bit then went into a dark tunnel. We did not see the turn coming up ahead which surprised us very much. We both managed to say a quick "wow, didn't see that coming" and were soon at the end of our ride. We splashed into the three feet deep pool at the end and were hit by a wave. Of coarse the smaller person is supposed to be in the front so I got an unexpected splash directly in the face. I went with my mom the next time because Stephen had gone with Abby and she didn't have someone to go with. It was just as thrilling and again I was in the front and was sadly hit in the face again. Next, we went to the lily pads. They are a series of large plastic lily pads lined up in a row stretching through a pool. There is a long net hanging from the top for you to hold on to. Last time I had been there I was a lot shorter so it was very difficult for me to hold on and walk standing straight up the whole way. I fit Abby very well though so she dint look like a total idiot crossing it. Stephen however was smart and choose not to go again unlike me. After almost slipping and falling off I grabbed a one person tube and went to the wave pool. The waves felt nice and were fun to play in but soon we had to go. Quickly we went under the giant bucket that tips all of its water out about every ten minuets and became completely soaked. After changing we went to a very yummy restaurant called Texas Road House. If you ever go to Billings you most go to Texas Road House. I ordered the mini cheeseburgers but quickly filled myself with their famous rolls. I believe i had two or three and could only manage to eat one of my cheese burgers. After a very filling meal we haded back to the hotel for a good nights sleep. In the morning after a very good breakfast of lots of waffles we went once again to the water park. We enjoyed redoing all the things we did the previous day and soon had to leave. We went to Cabela's next and took a lot longer there then we had expected. After that we went back to the hotel packed up, loaded the van and went to the mall. We enjoyed ourselves there. Abby, Stephen, and my dad all went to some sport stores while my mom and me went to clothing stores. We quickly went to Arby's then headed home. I didn't feel the greatest on the way home and had to move up front but soon we were home again ad I felt much better. We had lots of fun and excitement and we all enjoyed it.I hope we get to sometime do it again.(By the way I think this is the longed=st post I have ever done). See you all soon hope you are having a great day.
