Anne: Do You Wanna Build a Water Park?

I am with Michelle and Elizabeth at a lodge that's in the middle of an area that resembles the farm we went horseback riding at when we were younger. Elizabeth is showing us around. She takes us to a building closed off by a concrete wall. There is a large metal gate that she punches a code into to open. We walk immediately into a wrap around driveway with cars parked around the circle. Night is falling and she takes us to her favorite place in this gated land. Michelle apparently has seen this place before and describes it as "hands down the most beautiful thing she has ever seen before."

Elizabeth takes us to a greenhouse with a path adjacent to it leading into the woods. It gives me The Secret Garden vibes. We walk along the path and come to a clearing that has a deer and flowers with fireflies dancing above the flora. A sun fleck shines down into one area resembling a scene to that of a Disney movie. It's beautiful.


Elizabeth tells us of her plans for here (the sun is out again so maybe this is a new day but I'm not sure). We come to a water ride looking structure that touches a large lake. The water ride is set up kind of like a lazy river or boating ride you might find in a water park. The structure is disgusting. It is filled with dirty water from years of rain and flooding. Algae clings to the inside. Elizabeth asks me to walk through it to get a feel for the uncleanliness since I'm a microbiologist and would have an idea of how much cleaning needs done. I wade through the filth and am thinking of glad I am that I wore my long pants today.
