Yesterday Ryan and I did a flying trapeze lesson. It was so cool! I was able to get my feet up once to do a hanging knee back flip. (it's a lot harder than it looks). Here's the video posted on youtube if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpc-oWi8Ev0
So here's the funny thing. After everyone had gone and we had a grand finale where an advanced student was able to do a "catch" with one of the instructors (student is upside down, so is instructor, instructor grabs student's wrists and student lets go of her bar, being caught by the instructor ~ so awesome). I forgot that I was standing on the middle of a three tier observation deck that doesn't have any stairs. I stepped off and sort of caught myself, except that my toe caught the leg of an aluminum folding chair and we both fell on the floor with a really dramatic, loud crash. I was so embarrassed that I laughed with tears streaming down my cheeks all the way to our restaurant for dinner. When I woke up this morning the laughter started up again and it hasn't really stopped since. It was definitely a birthday to remember.
* Ryan and I were imitating Parker's thinking face that we have now named "the smolder" (from Tangled).
