Trapeze

For the impatient: Pictures

Phenomenal amounts of fun? Is that what you would like to experience? Well I have a quite the solution for you. The Circus Center in the city is the most unique activity I've done in quite some time. Please keep in mind that I was holding a stingray just last month.

We learned a little bit of juggling, a little bit of tumbling and not enough of flying on a trapeze. I'm entirely sure what's so fascinating about the trapeze, but I loved it! It turns out that flying on the trapeze has a lot to do with timing. If you time your movements right, you'll be weightless and free to move. If your miss your timing, you'll be forced to fight against centripetal forces. It's like dancing against gravity :-) Plus, it's quite the workout!

Here are some pictures that don't begin to relate the amount of fun that was had.
