Wave House

 For Jax's birthday this year, he decided he wanted to go to The Wave House in San Diego. Boogie boarding and surfing are two of his favorite things, and the kids were all excited to have some water fun! Jax brought his friend Nolan, and the four of them had a fantastic day.

We enjoyed a great lunch before their session started. The kids had their own table, with their own waiter, and ate while watching some pretty amazing riders on the FlowBarrel.
After lunch, they had an hour session on the FlowRider, for some fun boogie boarding.

  

They had a blast, even when they were crashing hard!

Cooper was the first to attempt standing up on the board, and he was pretty successful. Not bad for his first time.

Zoe quickly followed!

 Next up, they tried the smaller wave board with the rope to help keep them steady in the strong current.

 Zoe was really good at this one, and stayed up for quite a long time! Between her incredible balance and strong dancer legs, we told her she should really take up surfing more.

 Then it was time to head over to the FlowBarrel, which creates a 10ft. barrel to board or surf through. The kids were all pretty intimidated by it, so they spent some time warming up in the jacuzzi and getting their nerves up to give it a try!

 Cathy and I sat in the heat, nervously watching to see if they would do it.

 After some heavy persuasion from Joe, Zoe was actually the first to try it! She started off ok in the smaller part, but once she got to the barrel it was over pretty quick!

Cooper managed an ok ride too, but boy do they get tumbled hard!

 Jeff always manages to have fantastic birthday parties for Jax! The kids sure had a blast, and followed up with some ice cream before heading home.

 Happy Birthday Jax!!
