Who won? Reagan or the Waterslide?

So you be the judge...

Monday after our "get away weekend" we drove down to get Reagan from school a bit early and take her back up to the Great Wolf Lodge for an evening of fun. She was curious as to where we were going, but we just kept telling her the waterpark. Confused as she was, she was happy to be going.

We got there and she lit up. She played in the water, went down the water slides confidently and played in the fountains. There were several structures that kids could play on - Reagan found them. She climbed up one - and just kept going. Jim and I followed her curiosity and ended up face to face with two water coasters.

Of course, Jim and I both thought that she could ride down with daddy, so I headed back down. I looked up and Jim was waving at me and I figured out that she had to go it alone. Uh oh. It was a big kid slide, not meant for kids at her level. I was worried. But Jim said "she's going down alone and the lifeguard is okay with it". Hmmm.

So I waited. He sent her down and I waited. As she came down, I heard nothing. No screams nothing. But she appeared butt first, face down and plopped right into the pool of water. I, of course, scooped her right up expecting her to cry or something. Nope! She had this look of terror and shock on her face. But no noise. She didn't make one until she saw her daddy and immediately wanted to go to him. :)

I still haven't figured out what happened. Did she flip out, was she in shock? I'm guessing the answer to my question is that the Waterslide won!
