The Greatest Show on Earth

Mike took us (along with Amanda, Mandy, and her 3 nephews) to the Ringling Bro.'s Circus last night. It claims to be "the greatest show on Earth." I thought it was a little long, but my kids LOVED it. Bridger even got his own seat which he was pretty thrilled about.
Luckily they had about a dozen elephants, which made it the greatest show on Earth for Saxon.

I wanted to get a cute picture of me and Saxon, so I kept re-taking it and trying again.
After the 4th try, Saxon says:
"Ok Mom. This is getting kind of silly now."
Very true :)
So, we ended up with this one:

I kept trying to get a good picture of Bridger's face during the show.
He was mesmerized.
This is the best I could get, but it was so much cuter in real life...

We were lucky that Nate could come too!
My kids are so lucky to have Mike.
Mike likes to have fun and always knows whats going on and like my kids.
And...he doesn't mind hanging out with us even when Nate is at work. Gregor reminded me several times this summer when he had to help out with the kids, that it's a lot of work to go anywhere with us. So, thanks Mike for the fun night, and thanks for being willing to hang out with us even though we are a lot of work!
