New activity: JUGGLING

We’ve often wondered how those jugglers do it. Barbara can barely catch one ball, let alone keep three in the air constantly in motion. But how hard could it be? VERY, as we found out. Armed with 3 rolled up sock balls each, we found a good beginners’ video and started to juggle. Between trying to keep the balls in the air and laughing, you could easily say we got an F-. But we definitely had fun. Plus, we learned a few fun facts about juggling:

• Ancient Chinese warriors used to juggle their swords to intimidate their enemies. (We too were very intimidating. Anyone watching us would be inclined to stay away, but maybe not for the same reason 😊)
• The record for juggling is 11 balls
• Considering all the various things people juggle, it’s only fitting that the patron saint of jugglers is St. Julian the Hospitaller
