My two sons loved their iFly journey so much, they’ve been asking if we could all come back as a group and do it again. I was thrilled they wanted to come again. My wallet? Not so much. But it’s all good, as I don’t think you can put a price on finding something all three of us enjoy and the boys will get along doing. Well there is a price, but….you know what I mean.
It was surprisingly quiet in the iFly building this time, which is maybe not surprising since we took the last flight available on a weeknight. We were paired with a couple who had never flown before, and then an extremely experienced flyer. It is so fun to watch both newbs like me and seasoned professionals get in that tube and rip it up! The instructors are always encouraging, and it was fun to have a spirit of support amongst our flyer group as well.
This time, my boys got to do some “ground work” where they went down on their bellies and practiced doing left and right turns, as well as moving towards and away from things. They are really starting to get the hang of it, although Atticus would like to graduate right to the part where you get to do flips in the air.
My flights went pretty well too. I have to say that after enjoying the 10-pack of longer flights during my last adventure, this time each of my flights felt like it was over in a blink of an eye. I worked on my turns, up and down floating, and forward/backward movement again. But I also got to do two entrances into the tube by myself (mostly)! I didn’t get videos this time around, but I’ll be back with another 10-pack of rides in the near future and will post some updates on my progress at that time.
However, I totally geeked out the next morning to find that my instructor had signed off on three of my level 1 skills – yusssss!!! I’m on the board, folks!
