Had a most exhilarating afternoon yesterday which I originally thought I wouldn't blog about simply because without pictures, I wouldn't be able to do the experience justice. I since managed to figure out how to bluetooth the goodies from my phone onto the computer so here we are. Yesterday's "secret" team building exercise ended up being the Best Fun Ever. I'm not sure if many of you have heard about this before (I certainly hadn't), but we had an afternoon of circus activities - tightrope walking, juggling, trampolining, and the best part - trapeze flying!
Here's a link to the troupe if you're interested in trying it out - Circus Arts Trapeze School!
The last thing we tried was a 'catch', involving a very carefully timed jump, monkey bar hang, and monkey-grip grab by both you and a trained trapeze artist hanging from another bar. Managed to catch this with my trusty little camera phone...
Unfortunately, that's not me. I was trying so hard to time everything perfectly my mind flipped out and and I forgot to let go of the bar! Boo!! Here is me failing my attempt, and here is how it's meant to be done....enjoy!
