Circus

We went to the circus with our friends Matt and Alexis on Saturday. It was REALLY fun. I was a little nervous since the last time we went to the circus the kids got their faces painted and then after 20 minutes, Dylan started freaking out because he wanted to wash the paint off of his face. We ended up leaving with 1 1/2 hours left of the show. This was a smaller circus which was nice. We went a little early and got front row seats.

The kids rode a pony.

Me and the kids rode on an elephant. That was really fun. Dylan is winking at Jake in this picture. ha!

After our last circus experience, we DID NOT want Dylan to get his face painted. But he insisted! He HAD to have batman on his face!

I was watching him after he got it done and he loved it! But then he started itching. I said,"Dylan, don't you dare tell me you want to wash it off!" He said," No, it's just a little itchy." But, he kept it on the whole time. I was proud of him.

Mason and Addie looked so cute with their faces painted!

Brooks decided that he wanted a light up sword instead of getting his face painted. Don't mind Jakes face in the background. ha! Doesn't he look like he is having a blast!

It was so funny! Jake gave Ryann a taste of Brooks cotton candy.  I was watching her after that and every time Brooks would look away, Ryann would reach to get his cotton candy. Then she would lick her fingers...as you can see in the next picture.

There were so many fun things at the circus. The kids loved the tigers.

Ryann was sooo good. She did the following during the circus: watched, ate a million Ritz crackers, and took a nap.

We had such a good time.

I also wanted to post about Dylan's FIRST talk he gave in church yesterday. He did great! He memorized it. After church Dylans said," Mom, I was in front of everyone." " I know Dylan. Did you like it?" " I LOVED it."
