If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you...

So yesterday, It was my mom's 40th birthday (she's getting old huh? just kidding) and so we spent the whole day with her. Well most of it, I mean, i did have to wake up at like 8 and go to gym until 1:00, but after that it was all pretty much all about her. We took her out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse because they shut down Tony Roma's. That was our favorite place to eat, especially for birthdays. So we tried Texas Roadhouse and all I've got to say is, Their bread and cinnamon butter is better than Tony's. But nobodies ribs can top Tony Roma's.Ü. So after trying the ribs at Texas Roadhouse, we went to the new complex place in Ogden. I think it's called "The Junction". I don't know for sure, but they've got a way nice theatre, a rock climbing wall, a surfing place, and this thing called iFLY. We told my mom that for her 40th birthday we were going to take her skydiving, she never believed us. But we did, we took her to that place and did the iFLY. It was so much fun, my mom, my brother and i all got to do it. It really felt like you were flying. Well you were.. just with a little help. It sure was expensive but I think it was worth it, and plus the more you do it the cheaper it gets. Ü. If you haven't done it, convince your parents to take you down there. It's definitely a thing I'd go and do again. Now that I've done the skydiving part, what i really want to do is go and try the indoor surfing thing, that looks way fun.

Well I hope that was 500 words, it sure looks like it, but then again, I'm not sure how much that is, so I don't know, I'm gonna go now.

Well, I guess I was just kidding about leaving. I just checked how many words it was and it was only like 319. Which makes me kinda mad, cause I kinda felt like being done with typing. But oh well. So anyway, back to the whole skydiving thing. To get ready for it, they made you go into a little room and watch a DVD about all the handsignals and stuff that you need to know for when your actually in the tunnel flying. Then they told about what your position should be, and all the things you should never do. They actually made us lay on one of those doctor table things and practice our body position. It kinda made me laugh. Then they took us back out to the place where they gave you all the equiptment you have to wear. They make you put on knee and elbow pads, and then this really really light swishy ( i don't know what the material is called) outfit thing that made you look really funny. Then you had to put earplugs in your ears, and stick a helmet on top of all your hair that's squished inside. Then you had to put your shoes on and tie them tight and you were ready to go. And that's all the stuff they make you do before you go into the tunnel. It was really pretty cool, we actually got a dvd of us flying, it's kinda funny to watch us fly everywhere out of control.

Well now i really think that that was 500 words. But i'll check right now just in case. I'm good now, I typed 592 words. Pretty good huh?

See ya,
