The Greatest Show on Earth

We took the kids to the circus today - Grant loved it! He loved all the acts we saw, and also the entertainment outside of the ring. There was an area where you could visit the elephants and the camels, as well as lots of ways to spend your money. Such as riding a camel, which of course we did. There were also some little rides. Julia was a champ - the show started at 1 pm and she fell asleep just as we pulled in the parking garage. But we couldn't bring the baby carrier with us, so we had to carry her and the 12 degree weather, for some reason, woke her up! So she didn't get a nap this afternoon and wasn't even fussy (she had a good nap this morning). What a great baby, but I'm wondering what that will mean for tonight. Oh well, it was worth it (I think - check back in the morning :)
Grant riding the camel - for $7 they do 2 whole laps :)
Of course we had to buy cotton candy! Grant liked it but didn't eat too much.
One very tired girl who didn't want to miss a thing!
Face painting. We probably have the only child who picked a mushroom. I think he's getting excited for mushroom hunting - only another 2 months or so!
Grant LOVED this spinny ride. This poor girl did too, at first. Grant kept spinning and spinning and by the end I thought she was going to throw up. We asked Grant to slow down, so he would only spin it with 2 fingers for a while and have such a sweet look on his face, then he was back at full speed with a look of shock on his face. Almost like he had no idea how he was going so fast again :) He must get his like of spinny rides from Blake - I could hardly even watch him.
