My Awesome Trip to Great America ~ by Katie Chung

It all started when I woke up……..

Just like any other morning, tired, sleepy, and annoyed but excited for the new day. I go use the bathroom and then get my iPad and play. My mom just finished cooking my breakfast: Noodles, my favorite food, salty and warm. It was just what I wanted. It was Labor Day so I had no school! My dad was home too. My mom moved a high chair and put my noodles on top. I just watched YouTube for fun. My dad said we will be going to Great America so I brought a swimsuit because they had really fun water slide. I wore a purple dress with pink or orange shorts.

Lunch time… we went to Boston Market for lunch. I dropped my corn so it was everywhere.  After, my mom and I went to Yogurtland for a simple dessert and we were off to Great America. We drove past ROLCC and finally we were at Great America. We needed to renew our golden pass. The place to renew your card was next to Subway.

We passed…





The Gold Striker!
After a lot of walking I was not surprised by any rides. I entered Snoopy World. Finally, I was in the water park. I saw the water maze but last time I went, I was as frozen as Anna from Frozen. My dad and mom said I should go there but because of what happened last time I don't feel like it. We walked for a long time and took a picture with Snoopy and my dad found a Snoopy dance that was about Snoopy. In the show I saw a huge iPhone.

When I found the water park my feet were ready to walk fast. I first saw the kid water place. There was this water gate thing wand. I went inside to play but then it was time to go to the real thing.  I played with the small slide for a bit and then I went to the big slide. I took a small break and went back. Then I was ready to go to the big slide.



 I had to go through many things first. The top there is a bucket thing that pours water on you. The people on top of the slide were waiting and they were bored so they splashed the people on the bottom with really cold water. When I waited on the stairs for the slide, the big bucket splashed water on everyone about 2 times. I had to wait for a dad and child that took like forever, but now it was my turn. So much water was rushing on me, the feeling was so good but it was very cold water.

I wanted to rush back to my mom, but I could not find her. Instead I found my dad but he didn't know where my mom was either. I saw her come with a Dippin'Dots ice cream. Afterwards we went to find a ride to play to finish the day. We went on this spinning ride. I wanted to go with my mom. She didn't like the idea but she did it anyway. We had to wait and it seemed like such a long time she thought the seat number 11 was the slowest so we planned to go there. We ended up in another seat. The announcement was said and the ride started moving, my mom was pretty scared.

After that we went to play a game. I played the fishing game and you have a fishing pole but you fish for a frog. I got about 14 points and I got a reindeer. My mom asked me what I wanted to name it. I called it Sven Jr. It reminded me of Sven from Frozen. Now I wanted to play another game. It was a bowling game and last time I went to Great America I got two sharks. My dad got two strikes but nothing else. We could get a small one or if I give my reindeer I could get a big one. I looked and looked and I spotted a blue one. It took some time until I got it and I really liked it. We turned back to go home.
The End
