The real deal...

Who's going to the circus!!!

Got to downtown a little early, so we stopped by daddy's office. It overlooks the water wall. We do have a little bit of a black eye...fell off the scooter.

Scared stiff of the wall and hiding in the corner

The circus!

and the flying trapeze...


It's an overload of pictures, but it's a bit of what the circus was like! BJ and I decided to take the boys to the circus today for a late birthday present. We thought we would do it right and get some great tickets...we didn't remember that we also had 2 tball games plus a Sunday school dinner party. So after, barely making it through the tball game (Drew was just not into it today, unless I was rewarding him with goldfish) we headed to downtown. We got there early so we stopped at the water wall. In all the 5 minutes we were there, Drew must have heard the water and decided to pee his pants. He did not like the wall, it was a bit overwhelming for him anyway. So, we made a quick stop into Gymboree to get new pants and headed to the circus. We got there early enough to hit the pre-show where you get up close and personal with the performers. Very cool. We found our seats with cotton candy, the biggest suckers ever, and lemonade to help entertain the boys for the next 2 hours. They loved every second. BJ and I both were grinning ear to ear as we watched them giggle, laugh, cheer, and scream! We were impressed and even after a long day (since we rushed back to the party) we were so glad we went!

hi there!! Just so you know the NKOTB was not a suprise...we just happened to be walking by and I sort of begged him once I found out who was playing, we bought the tickets that night!!

We are headed to the circus in dallas when it's there (next week, i think). Our last attempt at the big circus ended in an anxiety attack by Z and leaving within the first 3 minutes. I am hoping he's outgrown his anxiousness...

You could let me know when the fireworks are...just so I can be prepared.:)
