When it is 110 degrees, I am so grateful that we can now spend hours in the pool. And we did… nearly four hours. I have two little fish for boys. I got a chance to play more with my new waterproof camera. I took hundreds of pictures. It was hard to narrow it down to ones I liked best, so I am posting a ton!<\/p>\n

We were invited to go to this aquatic center because they installed a “Flowrider” surfing simulator and our friends were eager to try it. Trevor was nervous, but he rode the waves pretty well!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The zero-edge pool with the dumper-buckets was probably the favorite part though.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a nice splash pad too
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan’s friend Graham waits for the splash
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor is leaping off of the springboard in to 13ft deep water with no life jacket. My nerves!! He is doing so well!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He went on the Flowrider again! Twice was enough though. He saw a lot of people wiping out hard and he was a afraid.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham’s brother Dan was the one that was eager to check out the Flowrider. He and his friend rode over and over the whole hour they were allowed.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor was back to the buckets where he liked it best
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham and Trevor
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Double dump!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t look up Brendan!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham in the perfect spot
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham’s mom Sarah jumping off the high dive!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sarah shark chasing boys
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan jumping in for the 8000th time!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Always back to the dumps!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dab-flop
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More flying off the boards
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham jumping too
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Underwater Dan
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh look, back to the dumps
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Handstands
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fun with refraction
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan demonstrating his backfloat. I made him take the jacket off and show me again.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More handstands
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor is not a fan of opening his eyes underwater without goggles. I got him to look once!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Selfie!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor’s face says it all
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Floating Trevor
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sarah dared Dan to jump off the high dive, with a prize of an extra 20 minutes of staying up past bedtime. He proceeded to jump about 8 more times..
