Our Life is a Circus!

Most days we start at the break of dawn, if not earlier, only to run to work, run all day, run home and run until bedtime only to collapse into bed and start again only a few hours later. Hence our life feels like a circus!
However this past weekend we went to the actual circus for the first time with the kids and it was a huge hit!
Friday night Nathan mentioned that the circus was in town and he thought it would be fun to go. I thought it was a great idea and grabbed my phone and text Lois to see of her, Joe and Kylie wanted to go. She said yes, so we made plans to attend the 3:30 show.  Saturday morning we told Amelia we were going to go do something fun; go to the circus.  She was very excited, although she didn't have a clue what the circus was!
I put Amelia down for an early nap and as soon as she woke up we headed to Springfield. The doors were supposed to open 1 1/2 hour before show time, so we arrived shortly after 2, not knowing what to expect. Turns out we were near the front on the line, which was ideal. We got to see them bring the elephant's in up close and personal and we were one of the first families in the mosque, so we got great seats and were able to do all the fun stuff before the show actually started. We ended up leaving at intermission, which was at almost 5:00. Three hours is about the max time you want to be out and about with a toddler and six month old! Amelia loved it, and we loved it just as much. It's such an awesome thing to make memories through you children's eyes.

SECOND time on the pony ride!

Only half way good family picture I got, Amelia was mad because she wanted to go 'ride' the jump house.
