Barnum and Bailey Circus!

We had an awesome time at the circus this year. We took along Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Tracy, Aunt Kathy, Gary, Leslie, Chase, Shaylee, Karly, Anthony, and Anthony's girlfriend, Julie. Exciting times!

Gary and the boys waiting with anticipation for the Trax train to pick us up and deliver us to the circus. Oh...the enthusiasm!

Shay and Kars had to get beautified for the special event...Don't they look absolutely fabulous?

Grandpa and his girls...

Anthony and Julie...The lovebirds. We were able to get to know Julie a little better this weekend and absolutey LOVE her. --And Anthony's pretty cool, also! Anthony bought us all lunch at Chili's afterwards. Then, the following day Anthony grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for us. He's the best!

Oh...All this stuff didn't give Dylan a sugar high! Dyl got an elephant cup filled with a rainbow sno-cone and a wizard hat w/a bag of cotton candy attached.

Leslie trying to butter up to Julie so she can be the favorite sister-in-law-to-be!

Grandma and Grandpa are the magic in our lives...They don't need the hats to prove it!

Karly wouldn't let me take her picture so I had to sneak a shot while she wasn't paying attention...

The clowns came down the aisle with a fishing net and captured Uncle Gary's big 'ole head and I snapped a shot...

Beautiful Shay...Always an adorable little doll!

The elephant act was one of the highlights of the show. Dyl also loved the horse and dog acts but was scared when the tigers did their performance in the cage. It was definitely an entertaining time with wonderful family!
