Circus - January 2011

MB, Caden, Calder and Bates in the parking garage at the circus!!!

In January, we decided to surprise the boys and take them to the CIRCUS!!!  It was SO fun!  I stayed up the night before making C and C matching shirts and a bib for B and we didn't dress them until we got to the parking garage so it would be a total surprise!  Calder wasn't feeling good and was a little grumpy in the car but as soon as he found out what we were doing, he started dancing all over the back of the van!  What was so funny to us was that they didn't even know what a circus was and they were still SUPER excited!  Mimi and Poppy sent treat money so they could get a snow cone each and a flashlight and that was a BIG hit!  Calder ended up falling asleep towards the end but they both had a great time and Bates did GREAT!!!  We spent a little while in Birmingham then got back early so Calder could rest and get to feeling better.  It is so much fun to watch your kids experience something for the first time and I think we'll be taking another trip to the circus in the future!  It was a hit!
Proud of their tickets!
Giving their tickets to the lady to get in!

We sat on the very top row (cheap seats) but it was actually great to see everything!  They still had a BLAST!
Caden watching everything and taking it all in!
Little Calder didn't feel well but he still had a GREAT time watching it all!
Cass went to get the sno-cones because it was going to be a JOB to get them down those steep stairs and back up with the sno-cones!  Aren't they cute!!!
SO proud!
Happy to have his sno-cone!

The horses...
He fell asleep on my lap at the end :)  I love that!!
One happy mommy with her sleeping baby :) (Bates was sleeping, too!)
Picking out his flashlight! (which broke in the car but they sent a replacement already!)

SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!
