Shriner Circus 2012

So mom and dad were curious how I would do with a surprise outing... We started with a typical Sunday, ate breakfast, went to the grocery store in play clothes, ate lunch... then mom said "well I think you are going to need to go change clothes because you can't wear that to the circus... I immediately realized what she was saying and I was SO excited!

Reenactment picture... 

Can't wait!

We got there early so we could ride the elephant...

and get some cotton candy (they have the BEST cotton candy!)...

All the typical circus picture... trapeze...

light up toy...

tigers...

My FAVORITE clown Alex...

Pony rides at intermission...

Rainbow clowns...

Me and my sweet daddy...

Dogs dancing...

and jumping off of ridiculous high heights...

Elephants...

and amazing motorcycle riders...

We had such a fun time and for a kid who likes to plan EVERYTHING I handled being surprised very well!

Bella's Birthday Party

Saturday I headed back to Nutcracker rehearsal...

and then we finished up our pumpkins...

and finally it was time to head to Bella's 5th birthday party!

I was super excited!

and so was she!  She had it at Top Flight Gymnastics and I was very excited to be back in the gym!

Lots of these pictures do not need a caption... the caption would just be "happy kids having fun"...

Her party was iCarly themed, so we had some random dancing...

and then we headed to the trampoline track...

and then the regular trampoline...

 

 

and then we headed back to the pit to do the rope...

Which I refused to do...

After all that fun it was time to celebrate!

Ms. Shelley even gave the pinata a whack!

Happy birthday Bella!  I am so glad to call you my friend!
