When Sophie told a co-worker in the office who had made many visits to the United States that we were going to El Rollo water park today (7/17) he said we would experience a water park like we had never before. Why? Because"Mexican water parks don't have rules like American ones do." Running across wet sidewalks? No problem. Twenty people at a time sliding down a ramp into a rushing river? Sound like fun! And it sure was fun, though my heart definitely raced a few times for fear of my own life.
El Rollo is kind enough every year to give free passes to all 800 kids at NPH. It really is a wonderful day for the kids to experience. Even as high schoolers, the kids were so excited to show me around and explain the rides such as:
1. The Pendulum: a giant U-shaped slide that you slide up and down on endlessly, much like the Ram ride a amusement parks.
2. The Mammoth: a huge, winding slide for 6-person rafts
3. The Snake: a skinny dark tube slide that send you into darkness until you splash into the light.
4. The Lazy River: puts American water park lazy rivers to shame. The river carries you through rapids, waves, and turbulent currents.
And the best part of the day was the amazing opportunity to meet more of the pequenos.
