Ice, Ice Baby!

We have had some crazy cold weather in Virginia Beach lately. It feels like it has been a never ending stream of cold air and wind, and it is driving me crazy! In my opinion, the biggest waste is that it's so cold, and we haven't gotten any snow! What is the point of the cold if it doesn't come with any white stuff to play in?

It has gotten so cold that some of our splash pools (you know, the pools you "splash into" at the end of a ride?) have frozen over. Our year 'round staffers decided to explore the park and the ice the other day. I guess that's one of the benefits of working at a water park - you get to have fun all summer, and you get to explore the park in the winter! It's all melted now, so they're lucky they got a chance to check it out the other day.

Here are a few pictures of what they came across during their adventure:

Everybody at Mat Splash. I took this myself (you know, because that's where I stand)!

Probably not a good day to ride Jungle Falls!

Well, I'm still trying to find a winter coat, to no avail. Summer, please hurry up and get here!

Cold!

It has been really cold at Ocean Breeze Waterpark this week. Really, really cold. There hasn't been any snow, but for a gorilla, it's freezing. Especially when I'm only wearing shorts, a tank top and a Hawaiian shirt. I'd like a coat, and maybe a hat and gloves, but shoes would also be helpful. Unfortunately, there aren't really any of those things in my size. Hmmmmm....

Man I can't wait for it to get warm again!
