Greg's Bday


For Greg's birthday we went to Xtreme Challenge Arena. It is where the American Gladiators train. We had a lot of fun. We had some injuries from bruises to a dislocated shoulder but I think everyone had fun... I think!
This is Renee going through the obstacle course. I think the best time was 11 sec. set by Greg.
Nathan trying to balance on the surf board. He was by far the best one at this stunt!
So this is the group that went. Nathan, Renee, Zach, Monique, Amber, Hector, Greg, Badi, Joel and Suzanne. Here are some pictures of the fun!

Hector trying to deflect the tennis balls being launched at him!
I would be afraid of these guys! Badi, Greg, Amber, and Nathan launching the tennis balls.
Greg's turn!
Badi trying to get across the ceiling on the bars. He got farther then Greg, but still not all the way across. This was at the end so I am surprised that both of them got as far as they did.
Greg trying to grab on but it was really slippery!
Greg was launched out of the human catapult. I think he practiced his stop, drop and roll!
The human catapult. This one made some people sick but looked like a lot of fun!
Greg trying to get the bike in the air to do some tricks. That seemed to be the hardest.


Greg and Badi trying the original gladiator stunt. They did really well. I think that was the most fun for people
Greg just had knocked Hector off. Those things hurt!
The human wrecking ball. Thanks to Suzanne who got a perfect shot of
Badi slamming into Greg.

This is where we warmed up. I thought we were going to have a lot more injuries from this one! It was a great place to take a group of people... minus the injuries! Happy Birthday Greg!

That place looks awesome! Freeman and I both wanted to be Gladiators when we were younger so that would be a dream to go to. What a creative thing to do. Happy Birthday Greg!
P.S. Ryan is getting so big!
