Over spring break, my family
and I went to Palm Springs with our family friends. After an exhausting two hour drive through
the Mohave desert, we finally arrived.
On the long trip we saw hundreds of thousands of gigantic windmills
spinning alongside our car. It was
pretty amazing. As we neared Palm
Springs, the temperature rose and rose until it was 91 degrees while back where
we live it was only 75 degrees. We also
passed by the Indian reservation. The Indians were kicked out of their own land
when the settlers arrived and were given this piece of land where nothing could
be grown, not many shops, and many rattle snakes and cacti. It is sort of sad that the whites kicked them out of
their land.
After
the pool, my sisters and friends walked around the hotel. After walking around the
hotel, we were tempted again to jump into the pool before it closed for the
night. We all had an exciting first day
at the pool. But this week wasn’t
finished, we were going to hike at Joshua park the next day.
Here is a video of us sliding down.
Have you ever been on a water slide?
As
we drove in the parking lot, Sarah and I were already jumping up and down. Our hotel was in front of a set of very rocky
mountains. We didn’t dawdle and quickly
changed into our swimsuits because our dad told us they had some amazing
waterslides. He was right! As I
climbed up the stairs to the slide, I felt the chills run down my spine. I could see the person who slide down before me get thrown forward into the water. But excitement lured me to try the
slide. I got on the slide. and in the
beginning it wasn’t fast, but a few seconds later the speed increased, and I by the
end of the slide I was thrust into the immerse pool. Even though I was scared at the beginning,
Sarah and I were laughing by the end. Hannah
and Michael weren’t allowed to go on the slide because they
were too short. We slid down the slide for
a few hours until it closed relishing the experience. By that time, darkness was coming and the temperature was cooler, so Sarah and I
jumped into the Jacuzzi.

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI;m glad you had an interesting trip with your family and friends. I never been on the water slides and probably will not try to do it in the future.
It;s looks like you visited a very nice place and all of you enjoyed the trip.
We love you,
Grandma Tanya and Grandpa Eugene
Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a blast on that twisty water slide.
I am a student in Mrs. Yollis' class, and I have blog called Collin's Cool Collection. Your mom has been leaving quality comments on my blog since I got it. Please tell her that I say thank you for leaving comments.
I have been on a water slide before. It was last summer and my parents and I drove to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. There were some thriller water slides like the Tornado. On the Tornado, you dropped 10 feet straight down an then you were going up and down on a structure that looked like a skate park.
Have you ever been to Hurricane Harbor?
Sincerely,
Collin
@Colin,
DeleteThank you for your wonderful comment. I will defiantly check out your blog and leave you a comment. I have not been to Hurricane Harbor, but I will try to talk my parents into taking me over the summer.
I will also tell my mom that you said thank you for leaving the comments.
From,
Miriam
Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post. It sure sounds like you have a wonderful time. Hurricane Harbour sounds like a wonderful fun place to visit.
I'm not a water slide person however when I was a lot younger I did enjoy the water slides back then.
When we go on our summer holiday where we stay they have a huge water slide and I am always amazed at how many people just love it.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful time you had with your family and friends Miriam.
Take care. I know your summer holidays will be here soon so enjoy.
Cheers AA :)
