Mimi's Passion

Mimi and her friend have had a passion for aerial silk (think the people flying on ribbons in Cirque du Soleil) for quite a while.  It started with them using a HUGE rope and hurling themselves out of a tree to "fly" and do routines.  Then, back in the late fall, they started taking real, honest to goodness classes with a real, honest to goodness aerial silk.  And Lyra, which Mimi discovered is her true love (think aerial twirling metal hula-hoop).  This week, we changed studios thanks to a Groupon offer that was too good to pass up, and I'm very excited.  The instruction was great, the teachers were so kind, and the girls learned SO much.  Here are a few pictures of Mimi.  (They didn't do lyra this week, but hopefully will next week.)

I know, the last one is blurry, but I had just my point and shoot camera and it is a warehouse, so the lighting isn't great.
