Flying in Sky Zone by Anna Mercina

It was an endlessly boring Saturday, you know, the way no girl wants to spend it. I was moaning on my bed like a dog in despair wondering what to do. My dad was online researching places to take me.

Shortly my dad bombed out, “Want to go to Sky Zone?”

I yelled, “Yes,” and ran downstairs as fast as lightning to put my shoes on.

Meanwhile, when we were approaching sky zone, I wanted to turn around and go back home.  Sky Zone looked like a big old warehouse.  I wondered what it looked like inside, a dirty old room with trampolines inside?

When we parked the car and went inside I realized by looking inside the place that I shouldn’t have wanted to turn around and go back home.  It looked so fun inside.  There was a huge sign that said Sky Zone with lights all around it.  I looked on the left side of the warehouse and that was where all the trampolines were.  All of them together looked like a floor with trampoline tiles.  The trampolines that everybody was jumping on were squares.  I couldn’t wait to jump.

We paid for everything and now it was time to jump.

I entered the trampoline court and I was in shock.  I have never seen so many trampolines in my life. 

I quickly ran over to the foam pit.  The foam pit was basically a huge pit filled with huge cubes made out of foam with trampolines in front of it to jump in the foam.  The worker brought me over to one of the trampolines and explained the rules to me.  When he was done explaining the rules, I jumped on the trampoline in front of the foam, higher, higher, higher and BOOM right into the foam!  I struggled getting out of the foam.  There were foam cubes all around me.  When I finally got out and when I stepped on the regular ground, my legs felt like Jello.  It was weird walking on the ground instead of the trampoline. 

Next, I walked over to the main trampoline court.  The best part about it was the trampoline walls.  You could even bounce off the walls!  I started off bouncing like a spring in the middle of my trampoline square. I felt like I was going to go through the ceiling like a rocket. I went very high. I was bouncing on my butt by jumping up and falling on my butt and going back on my feet.

Then I want over to the long trampoline. It was meant for gymnastics. 

After doing cartwheels, handstands and somersaults, I got off the trampoline to take a rest and quick drink of water.  By the time I was done with my drink, a man bombed out on the speaker, “Everybody that paid for 1 hour of jumping, your time is up.  Please exit the court room.  Thank you for jumping at Sky Zone.  Please come again!”

I left the court with my dad and starting bugging him asking him when we could come back. 

That was the time I was flying through the sky at Sky Zone!
