In San Diego we went to the Wild Animal Park and went on a Segway tour.
In this picture we are not moving but standing still on Segways, with a mean looking Bison in the background.
To ride, you simply put weight on your toes or heels to move forward and back. By turning the handle you can turn 360 degrees. Segways are balanced with a gyroscope and run completely silent. So-o-o-o...I need to think of some ways to convince Dan we should buy Segways.
Top Ten Reasons to buy a Segway
10) Emergency Preparedness. A great evacuation vehicle, it can travel 8-10 mph for about 20 miles on a single charge.
9) Save the Planet. It uses no gas, emits no fumes.
8) Cost effective. If gas were $10 a gallon and we could save...maybe 2 gallons of gas a month...a Segway could pay for itself in only 20 years!
7) Exercise. More distance = more exercise. Think how many miles we can "run" without ever breaking a sweat.
6) Coolness Factor. "My Grandpa has a boat." "Yeah? Well my grandpa has a Segway."
5) Visits from relatives. Be honest, wouldn't you be creatively thinking of a reason to visit? Perhaps, a spontaneous desire to bring us homemade chocolate chip cookies?
4) Date night. Forget $75 for dinner and a movie. We can see the world (within 20 miles) and probably be invited to a neighbors barbeque.
3) Christmas Cards. "Dear friends and family, We are well, the kids are swell. We have Segways. Happy Holidays"
2) Easy access. Access to fast food has never been easier. A front storage compartment will hold a Big Mac, fries and an extra large Sprite. Loan payments are conveniently made with easy access to drive thru banking.
1) And the number one reason why we should buy a Segway? You tell me. Believe me, Dan is a hardsell on this one so make it good!

That's hilarious. Now you need to get a shot of you and dad on Segways with Ethan or Zack or someone on scooters right next to you. That would be great. Those were all great reasons, if Dad doesn't want to get you one after all that reasoning, well maybe he just isn't the husband you thought he was, ehehehe JK.
I'm all about the evacuation plan. Just think, you could have a really heavy back pack with the stuff you need and ride it over to our house. :) What more of a reason do you need?
Even though you didn't need more of a reason, here is one... in case of emergency evacuation, you could drive on the shoulder of the freeway with the Segway or weave in and out around the cars, without getting stuck in the 10 hour traffic jam. :)
I think you can buy those Segways after today mom. Just tell Dad you can use your allowance towards it :) You're going to need to live in Houston if you are going to use Andi's evacuation excuse, but it would be a good one here in TX!
They look like lots of fun. I found your blog on Katie and Steen's page. Hopefully this will be an easier way to keep in touch. Hope everything is going well.
