The circus came to town!! I think I was the most excited out of all of us! Rob was unenthusiastic about going, and the boys were a little excited, but since they had never been to a circus before, they weren't jumping up and down with glee. Like I was. So I bought tickets. And we went. And it was FANTASTIC! It was Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey. The best of the best. We watched the elephants cross the city streets on their way into the building. We bought cotton candy that came with crazy hats.
I took a few pictures of the very beginning of the circus, where every act paraded around, getting the crowd amped up. And then my camera battery died. But it was a magical night! Maggie and the boys were fascinated, and even Rob left impressed!
A couple days ago Mom and I took the kids to the zoo. It was beautiful outside, about 75 degrees and breezy. The zoo is under construction, so it didn't take long for us to go through the whole thing. But we had a good time! We had some up close and personal time with a tiger and the polar bear. I didn't get pictures of the bear, but I got great ones of the tiger.
And we have a new baby giraffe!
So cute!
It was the most perfect day! The rest of the afternoon was spent outside, and then supper and a bath. The kids were all happy, there was not one fuss all day, and they were asleep almost as soon as their heads hit the pillow! I couldn't have been happier!
As far as the house goes, not a whole lot has been accomplished since my last update. I did finish the main bathroom a while ago.
Rob has been working on the fence in our backyard when he has time off.
A few more posts and the pickets can go up! I can't wait until I can send the boys outside and not have to worry about them running off. Oh, the energy that can be burned off by them in the near future!
I'm right with you on being excited for a circus! :) Your bathroom looks fantastic!
