Water Fun!!

A couple of weekends ago, we bought a ginormous inflatable water slide at a garage sale. What with the really hot weather we got to hook up the water to it this weekend, and invited over our friends.


We both liked how fast the slides were once they were watered down.




Splashdown!


Also we liked to hose each other down with the water cannon, but it wasn't fun to be on the receiving end...


Dad also got out some water balloons. Which we thought was great...



I wonder why we haven't had these balloons before...


Oh, maybe that's why.. (As dad gets one in the back.)

Circus!!

This Friday Mom was suffering from cabin fever and decided to escape the house and go to the circus. She knew Sarah would love all the elephants!

Claire loved the clowns, costumes and acrobatics.

The cool part was an hour before the show you could go down on the floor to see things up close and meet the performers.

When a dancer came out to teach the kids some moves Claire was right up there in the thick of it. Sarah preferred to stay with mom and watch from the sidelines.

Do not try this at home.

Sarah's highlight was watching the elephant come out and paint a picture!

And when the elephants did tricks!

With our bellies full of popcorn we enjoyed the show. The tagline was 'the greatest show on earth'. In Claire's opinion the show was wonderful and amazing, but not the greatest because they didn't have fire breathers.

Thanks for taking us to the circus mom!

Happy Mother's Day Grandma Chantry!!
I have been rehearsing everyday - this one is for you!

Beauty and the Beast

Yesterday we went to the a local high school to see their production of Beauty and the Beast. Since Aunt Michelle is visiting we took her thinking we could just buy an extra ticket, but what do you know the show was sold out! So Aunt Michelle went to the show with us and Mom went to work in her garden for a while.

The show was awesome and we loved every minute of it. We got roses that light up!

After the play we were allowed to go on a castle tour to see the stage. We had our pictures taken with lumiere and cogsworth!

We also went to a tea party with Belle and the Prince! It was so exciting. We had lemonade, snacks and got our pictures taken.

Thanks for taking us Aunt Michelle, we had a great time!
Beauty and the Beast was awesome.
