This past weekend we went to see Ringling Brother's Barnum and Bailey Circus! Neither one of the girls had ever been before so they had no idea what to expect. We didn't even tell them where we were going until we got there. We were a little worried that Julee would think it was "lame" but she enjoyed it just as much as the rest of us. Before the show they let you go down on the floor to talk to the performers and get their autographs in your program. The girls thought that was pretty cool. The show itself lasted a little over 2 hours but it seemed like an entire afternoon there was so much going on. We took so many pictures I can't decide which ones to post so here are a few.

Rick found this cool program that makes photo collages out of a selection of pictures. Here are the ones he put together for the girls. (It is easier to view if you click on the picture to enlarge it)
