Acrobatics

Through his work with the Handicapped & Rehab Association here in our city, Kevin made a connection with a woman who founded an acrobatic troupe for teenagers and adults affected by disabilities. We had the chance to go to their training facility, where they put on a performance for our family. It was so much fun!

Molly & Hudson were mesmerized! The song in the video above is called "Fly Higher," which was also the theme music for the adult seminar during the Family Retreat weekend.

This performance included a man in his wheelchair on a rotating platform while he balanced two other people in gravity-defying ways.

The video below shows part of a routine involving eight performers with hearing impairments. I think of it as the human slinky dance. :)

Afterward, we took photos with the group, and had the chance to tell them how much we enjoyed their performances. Molly has mentioned several times how she'd love the chance to do acrobatics while Hudson says he'd rather just watch. This sums up their personalities quite well. :)
