"POP the TOP" fun at the CIRCUS

Lucas likes to ask for everything he sees on T.V. Well, he saw a commercial for the circus and asked if he could go so I said yes. He was surprised because rarely do I say yes because like I said he asks for everything and the child is an elephant in the sense he forgets nothing. So I bought tickets to go the circus. Lucas, Grandpa and myself went. I would have loved to take Mason but that child can not hold still for 30 seconds (even when sleeping). Well the morning came and we were getting ready to go. Being that we had gone to the fair not that long ago Lucas thought the circus was going to be like the fair. He started asking about rides and reminding me of the ones he liked at the fair. I explained to him the difference between the fair and the circus. Now he doesn't want to go. I offer to give his ticket to Mason and he begrudgingly decided he will go. Once we got there and he began to see the clowns and the excitement he turns to me and says "Mom I was wrong, Thanks for bringing me".

Chinese Acrobats- Lucas loves to stand on his head so he thought this was cool

Motorcycle on a high wire and the pretty lady that did tricks under it

Tigers- Lucas said they were his favorite

Elephants

Final Performance - Guy on the horse did some tricky/fancy riding earlier in the show and the guy not the small motorcycle was part of a group of 7 rides that rode around in an enclosed sphere. The motorcycles in the sphere I think was my favorite

Labor Day Fun...

Well so Monday was a Holiday which means EVERY one is home. We (My dad and I) brainstormed the night before on what we should do so that the kids were not stuck in the house all day. So we had a few ideas that went out the window Monday morning when it was discovered that Grandma was up all night with kidney stones. So Grandpa being the great husband, dad, grandpa and man that he is would not leave my moms side. So the plans had to change. Lucky for us the Esslingers were available and happy to hang out with us. So the plans were made, group picnic which included Us, the Esslingers and Aunt Sam at William Land Park. After lunch it was off to Funderland. At Funderland much fun was had by all, take a look at some of the fun.
