Weekend with the boys

Landon & Bryce being silly!
Bryce
Landon
Parker Reid
Group Shot!
They were hyped up on sugar :-)

Everytime the lights went out as they were changing from one thing to the next Parker asked "Is it over?"
Caroline & Landon drinking and eating in our suite :-)
These girls were AMAZING! I am pretty sure my back would break in half if I tried to do that...
Incredible!
LOVED the elephants!!


The Tigers, were not happy about doing a second performance.
They were VERY fiesty!
He was looking at the guy walking across the tightrope.
The elephants!
They are so incredible

So Saturday after class I met my sister and picked up Bryce, Landon and Parker to spend the night with us and on Sunday go to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. So I get home with the 3 boys around 2:30 and Josh, Luke and I take them and Maddux to a park near our house b/c the boys wanted to play baseball (their newest sport) with Uncle Josh and Uncle Luke. Well, I hadn't really been outside a lot on Saturday and so I didn't realize that it was FREEZING. And the boys, especially Bryce are already half sick. Bryce sounds like he has pnuemonia. So needless to say we did not stay very long! We went to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant El Jinete. The boys were really good! That night was low key, with bubble bath and the movie cars. I put them to bed around 8:00, and they were fast asleep by 8:15. I was fast asleep by 9:00. I don't see how Sara does it! Sunday, we get up and go to church and have some lunch then head over to meet Caroline to go to the circus. The circus was FABULOUS!! I think Caroline and I enjoyed it as much or more than the boys. Thanks so much to Caroline for getting SWEET suite tickets. We got to enjoy lots of snacks and drinks in our suite instead of paying OUTRAGEOUS prices for food. I did cave under pressure and bought a bag of cotton candy, and get this, b/c they had a cheap circus hat on top of the bag they charged $12!!!! I couldn't believe it! So I only bought one bag and made them all pose with it on. Some of my favorites were the tigers, elephants, horses and these Asian ladies/girls were amazing. I am going to post a few (apparently I had a lot of favorites) of my favorites pics and then do a slide show with the rest.

Looks like it was so neat. I am glad that ya'll had a good time. Thanks for sharing the experience with the boys. Next time make sure you take your circus hat with you so you don't have to spend another horribly riduculous amount of money for a hat. You can pick up some cotton candy at Wal-mart too before the show. As for how I do it, I go to bed EARLY because I am so exhausted. Thanks for the break from the kids. Next time I will leave them for a WHOLE WEEK:)

Cute pictures! Did you know that there is some law that you can't touch elephants in the state of Georgia? The circus let the visually impaired/blind little kids go for a special thing and they weren't allowed to touch them...who knew? Good to see you for a bit yesterday!

Sounds like you had a great time! Those were the kind of things I did with Laurie, Louise and Leigh when they were litte. Fun for the kids and their very luck aunts!
