Circus Day!

Every year for several years now, my MIL has hosted a circus day in the summertime.  She has a vast store of amazing costumes that belonged to her family when she was a little girl.  So, they are pretty old, and really special to the family.  With some newer things added in, the kids always find something they want to dress in for the circus.  This year was especially fun because my brother in law Sam was the Ringleader.  He was awesome! And my husband was able to come and perform too.  His picture alone is worth scrolling down to see!


Amy was a tiger trapeze artist, at least I think that's what she was.



Clara was a dancing cowgirl

Audrey was a dancing girl

Baylor was a monkey

Jeffrey was a cowboy

I don't know what timothy was, but he and Amy put on a routine with the hula hoops

Judd wore this wig just to please me

Benson the clown

Reuben, the tiger cowboy

Circus day was on our 14th wedding anniversary. This is the only photo we too to commemorate that day.

Sam the awesome Ring Leader

Emmeline wore Reuben's ambassador to the moon costume. We shot her out of a pretend cannon. 

This is Judd jumping through hoops, over children and then doing a somersault.

The Amy and Timmy show

Anna hoola hooping and ukelele playing at the same time!

Benson

I'm a star!

Reuben jumping over Tim. It's more fun with a Tiger head!

The whole gang!

Lunch was tasty!

The kids all had a great time playing games after they performed and then pigging out on pizza, watermelon, soda, and the most disgusting ice cream flavor EVER- Play doh!  Nobody else agreed with me.  I guess I've outgrown liking things that taste like a combo of bubblegum, sugar overload, and clay.
