THE CIRCUS!!

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

We spent Saturday evening at the Circus. I hadn't been in years, and I thought it would be a great birthday present for Dakota, plus the kids got to come a long too.

They started the Pre-show with fun and a lot of clowning aroundHere are the kids trying out their Clown Skills!

Yeah, I tried to get the nose on Kota...but that wasn't happening.

Mom sporting her skills too! Let the show begin! Tigers! The ring was filled in the dark so when the lights came back on there they were. The shots below are 5 of them rolling over, and then the second is to show all of them... He had 10 tigers in there with him. 3 of which were white/Albino. So pretty.

Elephants....

Tigers...

and Shooting Cannons, Oh My!

All in all we had a good time. The kids stayed awake and had big smiles at the end.

Maybe they'll remember it....

A SUNDAY DRIVE....

FISHING WITH PAPA JOE....

Sunday, Dad, Papa, Jacob, myself & our new friend William took a drive out on the lake. We drove down to the dam to start to troll, when Dad & Papa saw the birds start to dive.

Off we went straight towards them...us and about every other boat on the lake at the same time!

There was about 20 of us by the time we started casting.

Dad won the prize for the first catch of the day, plus second and third... All seemed to be Hybrids.

Papa won the prize for the exciting catch of the day. He hung himself a HUGE one, or so we thought. Enjoy the video below to see how it all played out.

Photos of his BIG catch!

I loved this photo. I had never seen a Carp this up close before, so the lips through the net were just too funny not to get a photo of. And yes... we let him go.
