Trapeze U

Steven surprised me with Trapeze lessons for Valentine's Day. We both participated and I was scared and worried about it at first, but it turned out to be really fun! I can't believe all of the things they wanted us to do the first time, but I was happy that we both did it and we didn't have a panic attack or something. Here are a few pictures from our lesson.
Me upside down, we were higher up than it looks in the pictures, but I didn't fall off!
Steven hanging upside down.
Steven did really well for a tall guy! :)
We both got a diploma because we completed a "catch". Another trapeze artist had to grab our arms and swing us from one side to the other, I wish we had some pictures of that, I am proud we did it!
These are my injuries, I bruise really easily anyway and then combine that with a bar I kept hitting my knees on...this was the result. I guess that is the price you have to pay when you are an Official Trapeze Artist. :)

That is so cool! I too have always wanted to try that, but now as a mom I don't feel like I have as much no-fear factor as you. As a kid I always wondered how it feels to fly like that... But man bruises like that could keep me worried enough to not feel the legal rush. You are amazing.

Sweet! I love it. I didn't even know that trapees was something that you could take a class on(unless you sign up for the circus, of course!)

Those are some horrible bruises! I hope they go away soon!
