Bluebonnet Visits Schlitterbahn – by Marji Bishir

Posted by admin in Your Stories on June 25, 2010

Once upon a time, Bluebonnet the Armadillo got hot. Very hot. It was a summer afternoon in Texas, and it was over 100 degrees. Bluebonnet decided that she needed a river vacation. Somewhere with cool water and lots of tasty bugs to eat. So she went to New Braunfels, Texas, home of the Comal and Guadalupe rivers. The waters in these rivers are fed by natural springs, so they are about 65 degrees all year around. Ahhhh!

Bluebonnet went down to the river’s edge. She saw fish swimming in the clear waters, turtles sunning themselves on the banks. One turtle looked lonely. She called out to him and he saw over. Howdy ma’am, he said. My name is Tommy Turtle. Watch out for people who float down this river, he warned. Sometimes it gets loud and crowded. Bluebonnet was puzzled. Why do people do that, she asked? It’s fun said Tommy.

Cars were whizzing past, full of people in swimsuits and with inner tubes tied on top. Bluebonnet was curious. Where are they going? she asked. Tommy said “Schlitterbahn”, the best water park in the world.
