A Night at the Circus

Last night Mike took us, Jeff & Meg, and his friend Mike from work and his family to the circus. The kids clapped and sang and danced the whole time. Bridger actually sat still on Nate's lap through almost the whole performance. He would look over occasionally with wide eyes to see if we were all as amazed as he was. The circus was a little better this time than the last 2 times we went. Each act was a little shorter (which was really nice) and had some new acts also. Mike let all the kids ride the elephant and get their faces painted. Saxon has been dying to be Spiderman since he found out that we were going to the circus. We decided not to have Bridger ride the elephant with the kids since none of the adults were riding. :) Saxon loved his new friends too! He cried when it was time to leave because he wanted his new friends to come home with us.





Megan agreed to get her face painted with Saxon. I'm not sure if Saxon came up with this on his own or if Jeff helped him, but suddenly he was determined that Megan be a cheetah. Megan is such a good sport and so good with the kids that she agreed to be the cheetah :) So, here's Megan and Saxon, and everyone with their faces painted (Berkley, Savannah, Megan, Maddox, & Saxon). Bridger was off trying to escape into the elephant ring while we were taking pictures.
Thanks again Mike! It was such a fun night!!!

Wow that looks like it was a blast! Those boys must sure love their uncle Mike for spoiling them with such a fun day. Every time we go to the circus Van talks about elephants the whole time but then he is too afraid to get near them.
