My First Circus

Ian scored tickets to see the Garden Brothers Circus last night. I'd never been to one before and I think I was more excited than the kids were. We headed over a bit early and pretty much got front row seats. Ian took the kids around to see the elephants and other things that were going on before the show started. And what a show it was! Tightrope walkers, acrobatics, trained ponies and pink/blue poodles that danced... a magic act where the woman kept changing her dress in a split second (Sam and I could NOT figure out how that was happening!), dancing elephants and this big steel ball with four (yes four!) motorcycles racing around inside. It was amazing to see. My mouth hung open for most of the show. LOL.

We got home just after 10:00 and Jules had fallen asleep in the van. The kids let me sleep in this morning and while I was getting their breakfast I could hear their little voices talking about their favourite part from last night.

Today I have specific things I need to accomplish. I am going to make a list and see if that keeps me on track. I have a bit of energy today so I want to make the best use of it.

13 days to go... I could go at any time....

  2. I've seen those quick-change acts on TV, and I don't have a CLUE how they do that!! It stuns me every time!

    Glad you had fun - sounds like a very good night out with the family. :)
