Splash Mountain

By Ashley

Wow, Can you believe it, spending Christmas in Disneyland! It took nine hours

to get there. Well, I was in line for Splash Mountain with my mom, her boyfriend, Ronnie, his two Kids, Ashley, 12, we call her T because her last name was Texeira and

they called me H for my last name, Hans, and his other kid Drew that is nine years old.

We were so excited to go on the ride!

I watched a lot of people go down the big waterfall slide, it looked really steep.

All of a sudden I felt this big blanket of fear come over me. I told Ashley "I am getting

scared, it looks so steep."

"I know me too." she told me.

It was a long wait like 30 to 40 minutes. Finally we got on, I was so freaked we started going on it and it was a whole bunch of little waterfalls we went down.

My mom kept telling me, " There is nothing to be afraid of.

"There was a whole bunch of fake animals playing instruments, sitting in a chair and singing songs.

I was grabbing on to my mom, I was so scared.

Finally we went up the big hill to get to the big waterfall. I was freaking out and grabbing tighter on my mom. I was so scared and it felt like it was at the top of the

Empire State Building and I was going to jump off and I was going to die at that instant.

It was taking a lot time to get up the hill it was cranking. It was going up the hill very slowly it would stop and then go again and keep clanking. We finally got to the top going very slowly. Then it started to drop I couldn't move my mouth. I screamed the whole way down. It felt like I was dropping a million feet down and my cheeks and my lips felt like they were getting a face lift in 10 seconds. Then it was over, we got out and it felt like I had taken the blanket of fear off and I wanted to go again!
