Circus Week

It's been a week full of circus activities around here. 

On Thursday Fulton had circus day at school and chose to dress as a clown. We don't really own any clown attire so a quick trip to the thrift store and this outfit was created. 

I stepped over to his room and snapped a quick picture of him and his buddy Elijah. 

After all our kids arrived we headed upstairs to have my first ever Circus Day! Complete with roller coaster rides, bowling, face painting, and bean bag toss. Not to mention popcorn and cotton candy for snack. The kids loved it. 

This morning we headed to the real circus that was in town. We waited patiently 

for the doors to open. 

We got there early for the pre-show where you can go down on the floor and see some of the acts and meet the clowns. Fulton must be taking after his daddy because he was quite frightened to sit near the clown and refused to take his picture with one. 

He was mesmerized by the up close view we had of these two acrobats. 

Love seeing him in awe. These are special moments. 

And look who else was there. Our best friends!! They were excited to see each other. 

So we took a quick picture and it was time for the show to start. Fulton loved it!! He asked a million questions. Stuff like.. why does the elephant have a star on his hip, why didn't all the tigers lay down when the guy told them too, why are the clowns jumping on the trampoline with their shoes on. I love his curiosity. So we are walking back to the car and we asked him what was his favorite part? He said... the monster trucks. Umm.. that was last week buddy. Bless him. He simply loved the monster truck show.
