Chloe and I went to SkyZone Indoor Trampolining with PhotoClub!
We left campus with the rest of the PhotoClub and took a long bus ride, then walked a distance. By the time, we got there I was already exhausted! We had one hour reserved for us, and we got there about 30 minutes early. So, we stood outside waiting for our turn like a bunch of dorks and took some selfies.
Chloe and I got bored of waiting around, so we decided to go inside and explore the facilities, even if we weren't allowed down on them. Much to our surprise.... the place was FILLED with children. I don't really know why I expected it to be an adult place to be, but I definitely did not expect to see so many children who barely came up to my waist.
Kids jumping into the foam pit with their parents watching.
Look at that little girl in front of the hoop. That hoop is a miniature hoop. I am taller than that hoop (not really).
These little kids playing dodgeball seemed like they hadn't even learned to walk yet.
After feeling old for what felt like a considerable amount of time, we rejoined the group and eventually got our wristbands and socks.
For those who haven't gone trampolining before (everybody), you get these cool grippy socks! They have rubbery things on the bottom, I guess so that you don't slip and fall. Although, I don't think trampolines are infamous for their slippery surface. Not too sure on this one.
Always have to take a selfie.
We first started warming up on one of the big areas of many trampolines with everyone. After about 5 minutes of jumping, I remembered that jumping on a trampoline is actually extremely exhausting. EXTREMELY exhausting. I need to start working out again... So after about ten minutes of that, I decided I needed a break. We headed over to the foam pit!
We fell into line with these girls. APPARENTLY they don't know what a line is because they just kept cutting back in front of us. We thought that maybe it was just them and joined another line, and the kids tried to do the same thing! KIDS THESE DAYS.
Eventually, we just kind of nudged our way to the front and finally got our turn!
I did a flip!!! And Emily (from PhotoClub) and Chloe both did a couple jumps, and then we decided we had had enough of waiting in lines with those particular children.
So, we went to the basketball area. And, I was basically Shaq (except I missed my first attempt).
After a few shots, we went back to the normal trampolines, and I took some panoramas because that's what I like to do.
I watched a few of the other people in PhotoClub start doing crazy flips. They made it look so easy! And since I had just done my flip into the foam pit, I had this self-confidence that I will definitely never ever feel ever again. I tried to do a flip, turned halfway in the air, then face-planted into the trampoline. I even cut up my lip on the trampoline (ew, so many people's feet!). It was a traumatic experience, but I definitely learned my lesson: never try that again without a helmet!
After a few more minutes of jumping around, I got so exhausted (and just plain embarrassed), so I went back upstairs to have a drink. And with only 10 minutes left, I decided I had had enough trampoline merriment for the night.
After trampolining, we went to Rocks Brewing Co. around the corner for some food.
Look at this burger... It is Glorious. The Big Stopper Burger (beef, bacon, portobello, onion, cheese, lettuce, smoked tomato relish, and Rocks BBQ sauce). It was delicious. The only problem was: I'm pretty sure if you combined two people's mouths together, they still would not be able to take a proper bite out of this burger... It was so huge that it just started falling apart as I picked it up. I ate 3/4 of the burger with fork&knife or just by picking up random pieces with my fingers.
And so, with a sore legs, a bloody lip, and an exploding stomach, I returned home to my humble abode.
