Went on an excursion not expecting to have to literally climb up a waterfall

| "Lets go see a pretty waterfall! Yeah! It's going to be so relaxing! Picture of our wrist bands!" |

| "... what... is... this..." |
Best excursion EVER

Due to our wild imagination and general boredom,
convinced ourselves the waiter was going to lose his job because of us
Told the manager how great he was... saved his career

Listened patiently to our waiter tell a joke (?)
about the different colored packets of sugar on our table
It went something like this:
Blue is the color of water in the swimming pool
White is the color of the inside of the swimming pool
Yellow is the color of the walls in the swimming pool area
Pink is the color of sunburned skin after you exit the swimming pool...
*Awkward laugh*
