The Circus! (and another round of guess who?)

Firstly, I pulled out my other two kidlets 3 mo photos just to compare to Isaac. What do you think? The first two are trin and the last blake. Strong family resemblance but not quite sure who he is closer to; you can tell he's a diviney though cause of the dorky hair. =) Oh and we just got some cute 3 mo. photos at JCPennnys today and his eyes look way more blue than brown. I think he might end up with gray?


Alright secondly, the CIRCUS was in town and I spontaneously got us tickets for after our photo session. Figured we would make a day of it. We had a great time! Let's just say the circus ain't like it was in the good ole days. Down to one ring from three, cats and dogs instead of tigers, 3 elephants instead of 5-6, no actual trapeze artists and the tight-rope walkers were only 4 ft off the ground. I tried to just let the kids enjoy it instead of waxing eloquent about bygone eras. =) We got there early enough for the pre-show where the kids got to interact with the circus performers and pet the circus dogs. Trinity's favorite part was the motorcycles in the globe (duh! it SHOULD be everyones) and the chicks who swung by their hair. Blake liked the dog that knocked over the gates on purpose. Of course he would, Mr. CONTRARY. So, though it wasn't as I remembered I would call it a success. A success that I probably won't bother to repeat again but nevertheless a success.

Awww how depressing. Cant believe Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey is so sad other places. Our circus still has all of that, including the horses (no cats or dogs at ours)and Siberian tigers...its really a big to do out here in New England, they go all out. Im glad the kids still enjoyed it
