Today in the afternoon we went to kite beach to the gym which is called Extreme. We go there quite a bit because it is right next to Kite Club and my mom and sister have taken up yoga and my dad has to do the spinning class, because he is training for when he gets back to do a ride from Vancouver to Seattle for cancer. So anyway we came with because Paul, a guy who works there started a circus camp. Paul is the who has been going around to all the fancy resorts and peoples houses to install circus equipment. All they have set-up so far is the swinging trapeze and the trampoline. It was really funny because the Paul is a professional trapeze artist and is trained in all other areas of circus too but the people teaching were not, we have all been trained already for the circus by cirkids/ circus west so we knew everything they had to teach. In the end Paul had to teach us himself and on the trampoline we were all in harnesses and we did back flips and cleaned up our front flips. On the flying trapeze first you climb up a huge ladder and then there is this little platform that you jump off of holding the trapeze and swing while doing tricks. It was so fun and we’re going to go back for tomorrow to do it all again!
