My waterpark trips

Me chasing Sophie at Hawaiian Falls.

Spencer's diary : My first trip to a waterpark was last Saturday. We got there early and were the first ones in line. I did not know what it was all about until we got into the gate. It was like a large dog park, with lots of dogs, and smell, and of course water. I swam a lot and Sophie and I had great fun. But what is an outing without food right? Mom packed some tuna, salmon and crackers for us, and she bought a veggie pizza and gave me some. I did not like the veggies but the pizza was good. We were walking around looking for ice cream but there was no ice cream. I was very tired.

The biggest surprise came when we went to another waterpark yesterday. This park is bigger, and lots of water everywhere. We got there when the park opened and stood in line to get in. I really could not believe it when I saw all the dogs and water.. Sophie and I went right into the pool. There were so many tennis balls I did not even know which one to get.

Sophie is a fast swimmer, it is hard for me to catch up.

Mom packed some tuna, salmon, and crackers for us again. I was hungry after about an hour, and we ate all those food. Mom had a tuna salad sandwich, but Sophie and I, along with our friend Abby ate most of it.

Another surprise came when my real sisters, Nala and Belle showed up. Nala was my favorite sibling growing up. I used to sleep with her when we were babies. I have not seen them since the beginning of the year, and we all have grown big.

We walked around the park some, Sophie had to sniff and pee, and we went into the different pools. This is a better park, since it is bigger and has more grassy area, more convenient when we have to pee.

We sat for a little and we smelled barbecue from across the pool. Sophie's nose went up first, and then I smelled it too. Mom asked if we want some more food, are you kidding? We will never turn food down. The line was long, and there were lots of dogs there waiting in line. Mom got me and Sophie each a hot dog and she got herself a grilled cheese. I was very happy, since every adventure is better with food.

After our real lunch, we took a break, mom said if we have to swim, we better swim because it will

be next summer before we can swim. Sophie ran right over to the pool. She swam more today than the whole summer combined.  

I swam a lot too, mom tosses the ball several times for me to retrieve, it was hot and it is cooler for me to stay in the water. I think I am a good swimmer, but still not as fast as Sophie. 

I was very tired after about five hours, and Sophie and I were lounging by the pool. It sure was a fun filled day, even though there was no ice cream. I fell asleep as soon as we went back into the car. I was so tired when we got home I could not even move when mom gave me a bath. Looking forward to my next adventure.
