Riding the wave!

They had a surfing simulator there that was so fun! We all took a turn (except Asa, of course). Eli technically wasn't supposed to go on since you had to be taller than the body board, which he wasn't, but we talked the lifegaurd into it anyway. He did awesome! He stayed on there longer than most people we saw.
Here is a close up of him riding the wave. On one of his turns he totally wiped out. When that happens the water takes you all the way back up to the top. Since he was so small he got zipped up there fast and slammed against the wall. He wasn't hurt, but he was embarrassed. When that happened his swimsuit dropped to his knees and Bob had picked him up and threw him in the air without realizing it. So when we talk about him going on it all he says is that people saw his "naked bum bum." It's pretty funny.
Rex was good at the bodyboarding too.

Of everyone, I think Bob had the most fun on this thing. He went several times. I didn't have the camera there when he did his flips that he is really proud about. He was like a little kid getting in line over and over. I am glad he had fun. He was the biggest guy doing it and everytime he started there would be a huge wave of water that splashed everyone that was close. Fun stuff!
