Tripoli Shrine Circus

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls,...we went to our first circus today!!! Mom and Dad took us to the Tripoli Shrine Circus, and Gigi and Pop Pops joined in on the fun!  We had no clue what to expect, but we guarantee you that the three hour show exceeded any ideas that may have been in our little heads.  Immediately upon arrival Pop Pops got us fired up by getting us each a cotton candy, and then it was off to our seats to enjoy the show.  The first half was filled with tigers, dancers, magicians, tight rope walkers, and trapeze artists.  Lily took a once in a lifetime ride on a elephant during intermission while Pop Pops and I went in search of the perfect light up toys.  The entire arena was aglow with light sabers and wands of every color so we thought we should get in on the action as well!  The second half of the show involved elephants, motorcycles in cages, and a human cannonball.  Each act was just as amazing as the next, and our eyes were glued to every minute of the performances.  It was definitely a sight to see, and something we will never forget here in our world!

Buzz

This afternoon Mom and Dad headed to the Marquette game, and left us in the hands of Ms. Mary (Mommy's coworker), Mr. Chris, and Buzz.  Buzz is only the second cutest dog ever (after Wrigley of course), and what makes him so much fun is that you can carry him around for FOREVER!  I'm pretty sure Lily would have carried him home with us if she could have, but unfortunately that was not possible.  We're definitely up for another afternoon with Buzz in the near future since it may also entail a game of "spy", dominoes, and a major snowball fight at the park.  Hopefully Ms. Mary and Mr. Chris are up for it since I'm pretty sure we wore them out!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sweaty Little Beast

I've taken up basketball again this winter, now playing for an organized league here in Mequon.  There are eight teams in my league all composed of first graders.  This means lots of my friends play too which makes it that much more fun!  You can always count on me to be the first one down the court whether on offense or defense, and I squeeze in a few sprints to the bathroom and to refill my water bottle during every game as well which results in me be one sweaty little beast by the end of every game!
