A Trip to Discovery Place

Earlier this month, we went to see the new circus exhibit at our local kids' museum.

Our first stop was a clown show, then we went upstairs where the fun really began!

They had a place where you could dress up in different circus costumes. (Notice the absence of Courtney and Dad who did not join in our fun.)

There was a very cool exhibit where you got to try walking a tightrope. Here's Alyssa stepping onto the rope. (It was up fairly high - about 10-12 feet off the ground.)

Here's Jordan taking a turn

Courtney wasn't tall enough for the tightrope, so she and her Webkinz Mary enjoyed the non-circus origami exhibit instead.

Then it was time to try some acrobatics. Here's Alyssa being lifted up on the bungee cords.

And here's Jordan...

Jordan was a little more daring... Here he is doing a flip!

Sigh...this time Courtney didn't weigh enough, so she and Mary rode the air chair instead.

It was a fun day (though Courtney might not have enjoyed it quite as much as Jordan and Alyssa did).
