The Circus!

Anna Kate is becoming a tiny adult before my eyes.  Last week, she was planning her own events! DotDot called me one afternoon and wanted to know if she was supposed to have them ready for the circus by the time I picked them up that day. Um.... no? Apparently, Anna Kate was so adamant all day long that she was going to be going to the Circus that night that DotDot started believing her! I guess she has been paying attention to the commercials for the Circus being in town. DotDot felt she really needed to go since she was so excited about so I went Friday and bought tickets for the Saturday afternoon show.  A weekend away trip for John Clay and I didn't turn out the way we planned so instead of DotDot and Aunt Ashley taking them, Aunt Ashley and I took them. I am glad I got to go! They really enjoyed themselves.  We made the mistake of asking if anyone needed to go to the bathroom just after intermission. You know Anna Kate was all over that. She went 3 times before it was over. She even missed the elephants because she was in the bathroom.  Silly girl. This germaphobic mama sometimes can't even handle that she wants to go into every.public.restroom we encounter.

 Loaded in the car and ready to go! To make an exciting outing even better, they got to ride in Aunt Ashley's car!

 I couldn't get a good picture for some reason. They were all coming out blurry! My smallest subjects weren't helping much either. This is Drew's new picture face. Ugh!

 Excited to be there!

 Cutie!

 Anna Kate's favorite part was the horses. They had miniature ponies and big horses. I think she is going to be a horse lover. She tells me often she wants a horse. And a sea horse.

This was Drew's absolute favorite part. I couldn't get a picture of him because he was on my lap but this was the last act. They were starting to fade and lose interest and then they brought the motorcycles out. He sat right up and was completely enthralled.

After the circus we went to see cousin Price play baseketball and got to see Whitney, Todd, Hayes, Mimi, & Pops there too! After the game, Aunt Ashley came back to our house for dinner, she helped them with their baths, and snuggled with them while they watched cartoons before bed.  I'm pretty sure they would say it was one of their best days ever!
