the beast.

new york city is always good for providing new experiences. sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not. though more often than not, even if it is an experience i wouldn't wish to repeat, i can appreciate it for one reason or another.

the beast (or actually "the shark") was a new york city experience that i can now say, been there done that, to. our high school church youth group (linC) went into the city yesterday without knowing what to expect. all we really knew was that we'd be on a large speed boat that rides around the city for about 30-40 minutes. we knew we might get wet. what we didn't know, or at least i didn't know, was the extent of how wet we just might get. i guess since i had to brush puddles of water off of my seat before i sat down, i should have known. within seconds of the boat taking off, i was soaked. literally. it depended on the seat you had, somewhat. the crew was there to ensure that anyone who didn't get wet by the boats doing would get wet by water guns. i didn't need any help - either did a few of the kids in our group.

some pictures for your enjoyment:

kelsey got more soaked than anyone else on that boat.
