Last Friday (as in 8 days ago, not yesterday), Dave took the day off from work and we took the kids to the circus. Adam was a big fan of Skippy the Clown and said hello to him each time he walked past us.

Luke was more interested in the numbers on the seats and the letters on the stairs. He spent all of his time before the show pointing them out to us.

Luke’s favorite part of the circus though, was the elephants. He kept pointing and saying “ellie!” over and over again.

The last act was two guys on dirt bikes doing stunts and that was the part Adam liked the best. We sat right in front of them and he was on pins and needles the whole time. He told me afterwards, that he really liked it, but was “a little bit nervous” because he they were so high in the air and he thought they might fall down (they didn’t).

Later Adam told me he thought that Maggie should get a job at the circus. His reasoning was that then, we could go to the circus all the time to see her. I convinced him that she should wait until she’s a little bigger before filling out an application.
