Best Birthday Ever!

I think 28 is turning into one fantastic year already. My birthday was spent getting everyone together and heading to Santa Monica Pier - there were 8 of us embarking on this crazy day of trapeze - Me, Kevin, Erik (it was his bday too), Carrie, Jamie, Jessie, Susie and Marisa. A few people had issues with heights and yet still attempted and succeeded in our trapeze experience :)

We were a little late getting there due to southern California traffic, haha, but ended up with enough time for each person to have 3 swings on the trapeze and then a 4th attempt at a release move. We initially practiced a knee hang, which was swinging out, looping your legs through and hanging like on a monkey bar, then letting go and looking for the catcher. By the last attempt, we were able to quickly swing out, loop our legs, let go and then the catcher caught our arms and we let go. Most of us were able to successfully complete the release swing - but we only had one chance so hopefully next time we will be able to practice more.

After that we went to lunch at Enterprise Fish Company, which was delicious, and then headed to Lucky Strike bowling alley later that evening. All in all it was a fantastic day and one of the best birthday's I've ever had!
