Vernon Hills Aquatic Center by: Ryan & Sasha from Hawthorn Elementary North School
 People out there! Are you tired of being hot all day? Is a hot sunny day coming and nothing to do? Come to the Vernon Hills Aquatic Center. There is a pool, water slides and there is even a lazy river to relax in. You can even just relax and get a tan while you're there.
Do you want to have the best time of your life? If you do, come to the Vernon Hills Aquatic Center and swoosh down the water slides. At the top of the water slide there is a great view. That means you can see the water park and the whole parking lot. This way the kids can look for their car.
If you get tired and hungry you can take your money out and spend about $10 for your kids and buy them ice cream. If your kids are allergic to peanuts or dairy you can buy them a push-up because it's a non-dairy ice cream.
When they are done with their ice cream, you can give them some water diving toys and tell them to go play with them. The the alarm goes off and then it is Parent's Time to swim. Now, doesn't that sound like the best time of your life?
