"The Vortex!"

We went to 7-peaks today. We got season passes this summer and so far it has been a blast! Lins, Glendon, Mauri and Aubs all went today too! And Erica & Casey came swimming before they had to work! (Erica, Casey & Myke work at 7-peaks!). Lins and I have been wanting to go on the boomerang - so today Ry and Aubs said they would play with the kids, and Me, Lins and Glendon went on the slide! The vortex is right by the boomerang, so we decided to go on that first. Lins and I went down in a double tube! (just FYI - the first part of the vortex is covered, and then you come out in a big bowl and you go around and around - like a toilet bowl! - and then you go down a little covered part and come out at the bottom). Well, Lins and I were going around and around, and we were laughing and we said "How do you get out of this?" We couldn't see the opening that drops down to the very bottom. Then we came around and we saw the opening, but somehow our tube went past it, and got totally stuck on the lip next to the opening. We were cracking up of course! But we were completely stuck. Our tube wasn't moving at all! And when you are in the big bowl, you can't see the lifeguards on the top or bottom - so we couldn't ask them what to do! We tried scooting the tube, but that didn't work. So Lins climbed halfway out of the tube and started pulling us! (I was a big help at this point, just sitting there laughing harder and harder!) Lins pulled & pulled and finally the tube started coming loose, so she hopped back on the tube and we started pushing against the side and we went around again and finally down the opening and out the bottom! We were laughing so hard! (after that we went on the boomerang without any troubles!!)
