Fun at the Zoo!

My mom and Nicholas were in town last weekend, so we decided to go to the zoo. We let the kids play on the very cool playground and then enjoyed a picnic lunch (thanks Mel) before heading in to see the animals. The girls had so much fun and loved all of the animals, but especially the baby monkey's and the elephants. They were scared of the lion and tiger though.

We will definitely be bringing the girls back to the playground, in front of the zoo, soon. They absolutely loved playing there and took a very long nap afterwards!

Circus

We took the girls to the circus for the first time yesterday and they had a lot of fun! My dad (aka Papa), Tanya, George, Georgie, Melanie, Ben, Caroline & Noah were all there too. Before the circus began, we took the kids down to the main floor to see everything up close, but they did not like this. A clown tried to greet us and the girls began crying immediately. So we decided to find our seats and buy the kids (young & old) some circus treats.


Would you believe that ONE bag of cotton candy cost $12?! But it did come with a felt, yellow hat as seen in the pictures below. The girls favorite treat was their HUGE lollipop - Hannah liked hers so much that she fell asleep with it in her mouth (see lips and shirt below)...


Grace seemed to enjoy every bit of the circus; she was clapping, dancing and laughing the entire time. Hannah had a good time too, once she woke up. I think their favorite thing was seeing all of the elephants, horses, dogs, and tigers.
