Elephants at the circus!

First one quick photo of Jonathan on his new scooter. He was always following the big kids in the neighborhood on their skateboards and he actually has a miniture skateboard so we figured he would love one of his own. And he does....he thinks it is the greatest toy ever.

We woke up to an email from some friends saying that the elephants at the circus would be raising the tent and everyone could go watch. So we loaded up the car before 8am and headed out. Somehow Adam woke up just enough to drop into the car.
The elephants were out and about and we got to spend a lot of time looking at them. Alex thought they were stinky.
We actually saw several of the kids from Alex's preschool. This pic is with Jack, one of Alex's best friends. They really had fun running around together.
Here is Lisa the Elephant pulling up the beams.

The boys thought this was great. The only issue was that it was supposed to happen at 8:30am and didn't get going until 10am. So we were running around for 1.5 hours in the rain. Yuck.
