Summer is so busy!

This summer has been packed with fun activities with our friends and our family. I love summer! This past weekend we went to the Circus with our small group from church. The kids loved it and so did we!! Of course, we would have loved it more if the TRE system that we rode in for the circus would have made their train schedule around the afternoon circus show. We had to leave the show a few minutes after intermission because the next train didn't show up for another hour after the show was over. For us, that meant standing outside in 102+ degree heat with too many tired kids, so we just left early. It worked out great! It was a super show that I recommend to anyone!! Riding the train in was a blast, too!!

During the pre-show, this elephant painted and they had a drawing for the painting!! It was just really neat to be so close to the animals!!

We tried to get a picture with all the kids...you know how that goes!! Parker got his legs stuck in this chair shortly after this picture was taken...he still has little bruises!

Here is part of our group waiting for the train to show up...it was so hot, but the kids were troopers! Notice that Parker finally gave up and fell asleep, heat and all!

Mr. Brown is showing off his "glow stick on the nose" skills while riding in a train. This guy will do anything for a laugh...he he he

Grace had the camera and wanted us to do a silly picture. So, we did one...

A few of us waited in line while the others went and stood in the good shade of the building. We all had to wait in the heat for about 20 minutes for them to open the doors for the pre-show. Did they not know that the train just let off 300 people and it was so hot outside?

Grace, Sus and Aaron watching the clown do a funny little act during the pre-show...the kids also got to try on the costumes that they wear during the show, but my camera was being silly.

On Friday, Susannah was invited by one of her best little buddies, Mia Mia, to go to the mall and visit every little girl's favorite place, "Sweet and Sassy." They got their nails painted pink (of course) with sparkles, their hair done and they got to walk the runway and pose. They had a wonderful time being sassy little girls. I think she would still have her hair done up if it were up to her!!

Parker and Little O man sitting still for just a second for us to take their picture! They were like crazy kids in that place because EVERYTHING sparkles in there!!

Sus sitting still while her nails dried and she was getting her hair "done up." It was so fun for those little girls!

They are most definitely "Sweet and Sassy" little girls!!
