CODE 9


We had a great time at Deep River Water Park! Claudia and William loved everything - the wave pool, the lazy river, even the water slides.....they kept saying "Again!" at the end of each slide......when the park closed and they were clearing the water, the first thing William said was, "Can we come back to the water park tomorrow?" Looks like our trip to the Dells this weekend will be just as much fun!

Within our large group, we only had one unfortunate incident. Uncle Randy and Matthew couldn't be flushed! Randy and Matthew were riding the enclosed tube that emptied into the GIANT TOILET BOWL. All was going well. They went down the slide with ease and emptied into the bowl, swirled around the outer banks, then their tube turned around and they became lodged. It was a "CODE 9!!" (Disney Hotel lingo for "clogged toilet"). Yes, stuck in the bowl, water swirling around them, on a tube, with the risk of being hit by another swirling turd, I mean person. Randy, being the educator, quickly assessed the situation and reacted immediately. He scooted. Yes, scooted across the giant toilet into the trap where he and Matthew were properly disposed of. As they passed (pun intended) through the trap and emerged into the Lazy River, we saw a look of relief (pun intended again) upon their faces.

Can we now call Uncle Randy and Matthew the "Unflushables"?!?
