Our ever-lovely friends who embarrass us because we are clearly not as cool.

So I went to a place called Sky High yesterday. Basically it is the bounciest place you can imagine. Literally. I went with a couple friends, one of whom is about as athletic as I am. (OK, that was a lie. We should all know by now that athletics is pretty much at the bottom of my talents list. For this friend, it's about number 4.) The other friend, however, pretty much has it all. Athletics for her... is like higher than number 1 on her talents list. She's crazy. And good. So anyway, us three girls were the oldest people in this place (because I think it was everyone-under-8-years-old day.except for Kenna Melissa and me) and the staff had no one else to talk to unless they wanted to dial down their vocabulary a couple notches. As you might have guessed, these staff members (men) were in awe at Kenna's mad skill, because she was doing back flips off of the walls. Yes, the walls. Keep in mind, the entire room is a trampoline, even the walls. Normal people run up the walls, or jump sideways (and then fall into a miserable heap on the floor trampoline, because nothing good happens when you try to jump off the wall- even when it's a trampoline. I learned.), but Kenna was definitely doing back flips off the wall. And these staff boys were amazed. So... Kenna didn't like being the center of attention, so she tried to put me in the spotlight. I like spotlight, but not when I know for a fact that I will make a fool of myself. The boys expected me to be awesome, because I'm friends with Kenna. Well, we all know I'm awesome, just not at being flippy and cool on a trampoline. I failed. Miserably. I tried to do a back flip (I was under pressure!), but not off the wall, just on the floor tramp. As the guy said, "that was more of a head flip, try to actually jump first next time." I don't think my head left the trampoline the entire time. Needless to say, Melissa and I played dodge ball and threw foam balls at annoying children, while Kenna continued to unintentionally awe every boy in the room. Even the five year olds. I love Kenna dearly. :)
