Water Park

Yesterday's field trip was to the water park outside of town.  Dave, Pati and I had taken a trip to it last week to make sure we knew where it was.  We got lost.  When we found it and were leaving, we took note of the Tiger Bakery which was the land mark at the point we are to turn.  So that is what I was looking for when we headed out of town.  When I saw it in the distance, I got up and headed for the front of the bus to help the bus driver know where to turn. At that point one of the Cambodian students got up and headed for the front.  She stood by the driver looking out the window as if she were going to tell him where to turn.  Tiger Bakery came and went but I doubted myself since this Cambodian seemed like she knew what she was doing.  She didn't and our bus driver didn't either.  We drove about 5 miles down the road before they stopped to asked directions, at which time I felt like hitting myself for not speaking up sooner.  So I told the bus driver where to go.  After a phone call with Dave he parked his truck right at the turn off, so that is what I was looking for. When we got to the water park, the girl that was to give directions was crying because she felt like she had failed. Many of the teachers tried to reassure her that it was fine, we were here and would have fun.

Leanne catches air on the water park slide

We did have fun.  I walked around making sure things were going well, being the conservative, responsible adult.  I gave that up shortly and decided to go on the slides. I was told I had a lot of air and scared many of the short-termers watching because they thought I would fly off the slide.  That never happened.  Once again, some of you may want to pray a little bit more. :) I caught Leanne with a little air. :)
