Wish't I Was Little...


It was Circus Day!
I found a great place for a homeschool field trip in our own town. A former Cirque du Soleil and National level gymnast opened her own Circus/Gymastics school. It's in an old church and her family runs the business.
.

What do you do on Circus Day?
Jump HIGH on a professional trampoline.



Jump madly off stacked mats.



Dash haphazardly through a demonstration. (watch closely)

Martin was our instructor. He patiently helped each kid through all of the skills.
We were also very thankful he had quick reflexes, and thankful that Sawyer still has a head.

What else do you do on Circus Day?


Contemplate your near headlessness.



Hang upside down.


Be proud.


Wear black socks.



Wear black paw prints.



Juggle.


Try to spin plates.



REALLY try to spin plates.


Be bound and determined to get up on a unicycle that's too tall for you.
.


Use your resources.


Crawl through a hole.



Wait with a friend.


Wait with two friends.



Try the trapeze.



Kiki, did you like Circus Day?
We all agreed we'd come again. The kids had the grandest time.
We took SO many videos, twenty-seven! I think I'll have to post a few each day.
