Kalahari Creeper

Okay so when you think of Kalahari you think of a family water park, not of creepy dudes trying to kidnap two 17 year olds. Well that is just what happened when I went to Kalahari 2 weeks ago.

The Kalahari adventure stated when my parents informed me that we had two free day tickets to Kalahari. The catch was that they could only be used Monday through Thursday no holidays. So to go I would get to miss a day of school! yes! haha! I decided to take my friend Katie with me. She slept over the nignt before and we woke up early the next day and went to the water park.

It started off as fun day off as a fun day of riding the water rides, playing in the wave pool, and relaxing in the indoor/outdoor hot tub. There is this one particular attraction that simulates the ocean when one is surfing. We decided to try it. As I was waiting in line Katie was standing by to watch and record my attempts(which can be found of facebook for you enjoyment). As she was watching me this guy came up to her and started talking to her. (this is not the creepy guy, he comes later) He convinced her to try the surfing ride, and waited in line with her and gave her tips. After we both finished the ride we were just going to wander the park to see if there was anything else interesting to do. The guy(whose name is Mike) started following us around. At first we were a little creeped out about this but once we started talking to him and getting to know him more he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. Katie, Mike, and I decided to go play basketball in the designated basketball area.

As we were palying a stray ball came flying towards us, and we narrowly avoided being hit. When we didn't see anyone coming towards us to get the ball we started playing with it. Then this guy came over and asked if he could have his ball back, so we gave it to him. Then he came over and started shooting the ball into our hoop. It didn't seem that weird as the area was very crowded, but when he shot the ball and it almost hit me in the head he became very apologetic. He came over and said he was sorry then tried to put his arm around me. Mind you this guy is like in his 30's, very tattooed and as a creeper beard. I swam away quickly and tried to distance myself from him. He then started going after Katie, trying to tickle her and grab her. We left the basket ball area to get away from this guy but he kept following us making comments at us. Finally we got him to leave us alone by basiclly screaming and yelling at him. He finally got scared of us and left us alone. We never saw him again. It was one of the creepiest thing ever!!!
