Take Me Out to the...Circus
There was a circus in town last week. They set it up behind the mall which is very close to our house. Kenny wasn't too excited when I first told him about it, but I promised it would be fun. He didn't recall ever having been to a circus before. It was a smaller circus, but they did have elephants as well as camels, llamas, and some goats that the kids could pet and feed. You weren't supposed to take any pictures inside the tent because the acrobats did all their stunts without nets or wires to hold them up. In the first picture, Autumn was waving good-bye to the elephants.
Autumn especially liked the trained poodles. "Puppies!" I flip-flopped between being impressed at their tricks and feeling sorry for the poor little things. Their fur was dyed pink and I think one must have been older than the rest. He didn't seem as enthusiastic about all the stunts as the others were. It was hot, so we stayed about an hour until the first intermission (Autumn and I shared her second blue sno cone of the month) and then headed home. I think Kenny ended up enjoying himself more than he expected to. It was fun for us to get out and do something different.

Red, White, and Boom
Autumn's daycare had a celebration day right before the Fourth. They did some outdoor activities, ate blue sno cones, and had a picnic. The teachers had made the kids t-shirts and hats. They were all so cute! Parents were invited to attend and I arrived as the kids were thoroughly enjoying their sno cones and then we went on a walk around the neighborhood. Kenny was able to take a longer lunch and joined us for the picnic, so it turned out to be a nice family event.
The video at the bottom was done at the beginning of the walk. I apologize for it being a little shaky. It was done with our digital camera. I also had a hard time getting in front of Autumn because of other parents that were there and I was carrying Shelby and the diaper bag! There is not a lot of action - you see the kids lining up to get ready for the parade. The blond woman in the striped shirt is Autumn's head teacher Ms. Glenda and the guy in the blue shirt and white shorts is Mr. Alan, an assistant teacher. I have another video from when they were actually walking together, but I promise the end of this one will make you smile!
