Ep 973. Splish, Splash, Smile: a relaxing meditation and kid’s story

Wade the inner tube splashes and smiles as he plays on the lazy river and the water slide. Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:33 Splish, Splash, Smile Excerpt: Wade was very excited. He looked out over the waterpark and wondered where he would go. Would someone choose him today? Wade glanced over the lazy river. It looked so peaceful, and he hoped he would be able to go in. Then Wade peered at the towering water slides. Just looking at them made him feel a little wobbly inside. They were so tall! If he got picked to ride a water slide, well…he didn’t know what he would do. What if he popped? What if he sank? What if he couldn’t keep his person safe?
