Pitching a tent.

Friday nights are great fun when you get to hang out with Jonny!

 

We turned his table into a tent.



Grammie gave him a flashlight.
He totally looks like Audrey in this one.


Uncle Jake went in to investigate.




Jonny made sure to shine the light in our eyes!




It was my turn to get in the tent.
I love love love this photo.



Ghost stories!



What a silly boy!

Lady Libra

 It's Audrey's birthday!

 

We celebrated at Joe's Crab Shack, 
where Audrey had to wiggle her booty on a picnic table.


The next day, the family headed to the Denver Coliseum.
We had tickets to the "Greatest Show on Earth"



I haven't been to the circus since I was a kid.


There was stuff everywhere!


I wanted a white tiger snow cone so bad!
$9? No thanks!


When we got settled in, something came over me and I started crying.
I think it was because the last time I was at the circus, 
my dad was the one who took us.


When the show started we all watched with excitement.



There was TONS of elephants. Lol.


People threw fire...



Here's Scott explaining the dynamics of being awesome!


...even the horses & zebra's put on a good show!




Don't forget about walking the tight rope!



He's gonna jump!


He made it!


Remember these guys? One nearly got creamed during this act!


We all wondered how Jonny was going to like the show.
He LOVED it!




He didnt stop talking the entire show. 
He would say "what's that?" and "where did they go?"


At intermission, Jonny & I decided to eat some cotton candy.


This was a first for my Jon.



Jake showed him how it melts in your mouth. 
He laughed and said "where'd it go?!"



Auntie Jessie & the cotton stache!


Look at that blue face!


My FAVORITE picture of the day! Jonny loves his Uncle Jake!


Here's our ringmaster introducing the second half.


When Jonny saw the tigers he said "big meow meow?"


Big meow meow indeed!




Kinda sketchy big meow meow.
These cats where NOT happy about having to perform.
They wanted to rip that guy's face off!




Aerialists in action.



Last but not least, ELEPHANTS!!!





I caught the poop falling out of the third elephants butt in this one. HAHA!


OMG, they are soooo cute!


After the circus was said and done, I felt lucky that I got to spend the time with my family. It felt like I was a kid again, only this time Dad was watching from someplace else. Even thought I got really emotional about reliving that memory, it all ended with smiles and love. All of our spirits where sky high! It really is the greatest show on Earth! Thanks Barnum & Bailey Circus and thank you Audrey for being born! You're the loveliest Libra ever!
