Trapeze Arts in Oakland


A couple of moms who have kids in Nursery Blue at Peninsula, also have kids in Jessica's class. One of them organized this trip to Trapeze Arts in Oakland. It worked out to be $40 per person, and it was the best time! I perspired from nervousness like I have never before, but it was fun. I even missed my first catch attempt and hung by one leg until I could "right" myself. Unreal!



Little nervous! Tall and skinny ladder to a small platform.

Here are Jess and I before we started :)





















We did a bunch of practicing of getting the legs onto the bar (not as easy as it once was), hanging by the knees, reaching, grabbing the bar again, and dropping before the catch by another trapeze person attempt was made. I also got to do some back flip dismounts - FUN!

Jess' second catch :)


My only catch :)


Highly recommend, and Jess now wants to go to camp there too!

We took the whole crew to Darbar Indian in Palo Alto for a celebratory meal! Here is the girls' table
