During the summer, there are lots of fun ways to beat the heat. You can cool off with a popsicle or ice cream cone, visit the beach, or swim in a pool. But the most fun of all may be going to a water park.
At water parks, you can soar down water slides, swim in wave pools, or just hang out and catch some rays. In the hot summer months, water parks are usually crowded with families and children. Jason recently went to a water park. Hear him tell Amy about his experience.

Amy: Man, with the weather being so nice, I would just love to go to a water park.
Jason: It’s so great.
Amy: When was the last time you went to a water park?
Jason: I think like two years ago.
Amy: Oh really?
Jason: I saw one on a road trip, just off to the side, and we had some extra time and just pulled over and went for it.
Amy: Nice.
Jason: And it was a blast.
Amy: Was it as fun as I remember it being from my childhood? Because I haven’t gone since I was a kid.
Jason: I think so. I think I got tired of it a little quicker than I used to. When I was a kid I could stay at the water park all day.
Amy: Definitely.
Jason: And I really only needed maybe an hour and a half. But I definitely was just riding a slide and then running back up the stairs and going down it over and over and over until I was dizzy.
Amy: Did they have a wave pool? Those were always fun.
Jason: Yeah, those are fun, but they’re also crowded.
Amy: Right. I also remember always getting hurt or someone else getting hurt at the water park. Like someone would…I don’t know, there’d be a nail sticking up out of a water slide, or someone would fall, like do a belly flop or something in the water. There was just always…there were hazards at the water park.
Jason: That’s part of the thrill, I think, the fact that you can never quite trust that you’re gonna be OK.
Amy: It’s true.
