Paul Guerra returned home from his mission and decided to come out and sell with his brother, Mario. The whole "fam damily" decided to bring Paul out so we all took a day to go to Elitch Gardens and have some fun. So we did. There was a little water park, which was pretty fun too, but this park really isn't the greatest in mind, but it was fun anyways!!! (As you will notice below, I make up my own names for rides because I have a horrible memory when it comes to names of people, places, or things.)
This is the 'boat' ride. You get in this boat, go up however many feet then go down a drop just like a roller coaster except for at the end of this one you get totally drenched.
As you can see below, Ken and Joni are trying to get over the bridge before the boat splashes the water, but barely made it. The water splashes so far and high you can't even tell in that picture because that's how high it splashed, which is why I added this other picture so you could get a feel of what it was like.
This is us after the ride, I would have been soaked in the front of my body too, but I decided to lean forward so that only my back got wet!
The after effects...I was so scared, I kept saying how scared I was the entire way up, then as we dropped I screamed so loud, and drool came out of my mouth and got all over Mario's face :) Also, Mario had to yell at me to let go of his arm because I was holding on so tight because I was scared out of my mind, but after that first initial drop you are aloud to let your arms out and fly, but I wouldn't let go until the 2nd swing heehee
My absolute favorite rides are the 'old school' roller coasters. Brandon didn't like it so much because it was too jerky for him, but I loved it!!!
Yes, we did swim! Even though we had a thunderstorm that night. But we went back to our apartments before it got too bad, don't worry. But I just had to show everybody how loving brothers and sisters should be....these two are a FABULOUS example :P

This is what I call the swing ride, you get in a full body harness like shown below. Then you get attached to your 'flying partners' get pulled up 152feet, one of you pulls the chord, you free fall about 50feet, then you enjoy the swinging time!!!!
This is right after we got our harness' on.
The Guerra's going up for their swing!!! Yay!
Us getting ready to go up the 152feet. AHHHHH!!! As you can tell, I am trying to look excited, but I am scared out of my mind.
