So they opened up a new aquatics center by our house that is the bomb.com. I love the place. Isaak loves it because they have slides and steering wheels and a pool thats only a foot deep. Cory and I recently fell in love with it because of the flo-rider. I have no idea if that's what it's called, but people keep saying it's like surfing, but it's totally not. It's completely different, but completely cool in it's own way. I would do this everyday if I could afford it. We left Isaak with his Grandparents and we went to ride the wave.When we first got there I was so excited to try something new that I was a little giddy, but as I read the waiver we had to sign I started getting cold feet. It said that my body including my head might be smashed up against some fiberglass. What? I don't want to smash my head into fiberglass, but for the record I did once and it wasn't that bad. I didn't even get a headache. I did on the other hand take a five minute break to eat dried berries. It's my new favorite snack. I love those things. Maybe it's all the sugar? or maybe the antioxidants?
I was a little chicken at first and just did the body surfing, which was pretty fun. The first few times I got shot over the top of the wave and smashed into the grate. I'm glad there's a wave because I almost lost my bottoms one time. I think everyone waiting in line saw my cheeks. The water is pushing with so much force that before you stand up you have to grab hold of your bottoms and tug up with all you got. I eventually got a hang of riding the wave so that I could shoot out the bottom, which was awesome.
Cory getting ready to catch the wave. You just place your board and then put your weight on your back foot and off you go! Cory did body surfing once then he was all for trying to stand up. He finally got it after several falls and was able to cut it up a bit on the wave. He looked awesome.
Doesn't he look Great? He got the hang of it, but he still took a fall, which naturally I had to get a picture of. 
It's kind of weird when you fall because it pulls you up the wave instead of down underneath. You can see the board going up the wave first and Cory coming after. Also notice the wave aka the bottom puller downer. Cory even had to cinch up his bottoms because they kept coming down.
The lifeguard talked me into trying to stand up again. She let me hold the rope. I don't know if it really does anything because it's not even taunt, but it gave me courage to try standing up. It went pretty awesome the first time and I didn't even go off the back. I glided down the front again. 
The second time I dared to let go of the rope and by accident I did a turn, but I didn't fall down. I give myself no credit for staying up because I have no idea how it was possible, but I did. Cory told me that everyone on the side thought my lil trick was pretty awesome. I got scared so I guided the board back to the front again, so I didn't have to brave losing my bottoms again. I was so sore the next day that I could barely lift my neck without cringing. But it was completely worth it. In fact I even liked it better than snowboarding-1. falling doesn't hurt as bad 2. it's not cold 3. it's not as scary for me 4. it makes me giggle giddy 5. it's not near as expensive 6. because summer is much cooler than winter. I can't wait to go back. I hope we get to go again before summer is over.

Second... I am SO jealous! I want to go! I mean, I really really really want to go! It looks like so much fun! And I loved your list of why it is better than snowboarding. All of it sounds perfect to me!
Why do I live in Nevada again? :P
