Circus

Isaac's parents kindly took us to the circus. We had such a great time.

We had amazing floor seats thanks to Doc and Nonnie.

The elephants were one of the most amazing parts. At one point they did handstands!!!! I didn't get my camera ready in time for that stunt, but so wish I had.

For most of the show, this was my fantastic view.

Then, the kids in front of me wore these. They had been in front of Isaac for the first half of the show. Ha ha.

Annette quickly hopped from my lap to Nonnie's for a less obscured view.  

Doc got each kiddo a light up toy. They could not have had more fun with them. Especially Cruz! Here he is  showing Charlie how to have fun. My kids are still playing with them all the time at the house.

Thanks, Nonnie and Doc, for a wonderful time and a treasured memory!!!

The Elephant in the Room

We went to the circus at Barton Coliseum this afternoon. I got one of those Daily Deal emails advertising its coming, and just KNEW that Annette and Charlie would love it. This was no Barnum and Bailey production, but it was definitely a fun family memory maker.

The elephants were so enormous and amazing. They could have tickl

ed us with their trunks, they were so close. I had flashbacks to reading Water for Elephants. Yikes. 

So so so sad when it was over.

Now I need to find out when the other circuses (had to google how to make that one plural ;) are comin' to town, because we want to have some more circus fun again soon!
