Schlitterbahn!

USAA took all of their interns to Schlitterbahn for an activity and I got to go along!Schlitterbahn is said to be the largest waterpark in the world! In German, Schlitterbahn means "slippery road", and that is the perfect description for this place. They have water everywhere! Even standing in line for a slide, you may be in a pool of water up to your ankles, or have waterfalls cascading down on you. They have giant wave pools and even a lazy river that sends waves through it.

They also have watercoasters. Basically, it is a waterslide that is like a rollercoaster! They shoot you up a hill, and then you slide down it really fast! Very fun, but also very popular. We had to wait in line for 2 hours to go on one! We had more fun doing the smaller slides, with old fashioned black tubes that are so huge, you can fall out of the bottom of them. :)

Obviously it's hard to carry a camera around when you are constantly getting wet, so they have photographers that roam the park, take your picture, and then give you a number so you can buy them at a booth before you leave. That's how we got these fun pictures of us. It was a great day and we definitely want to go back again and try the many slides that we didn't have time to do in one day. Hey Mom, I've got an idea for a family vacation next summer!!
