When the Circus comes to town

For Parker's 5th birthday, we decided to spend the evening at the circus. A great time was had by all and Parker truly felt like the entire show was put on just for him. I hope he remembers this birthday and always believes this was just for him!!Parker wore a button the said "I am 5 today". While in line he made sure EVERYONE knew it was his birthday.
We got there a little early and went down onto the floor to see a sneak peak of the acts. These guys were jumping rope and doing a lot of cool flips. This guy picked Parker out of the crowd to come jump rope with him. Parker made instant friends with him and told me the guy picked him because he liked his button. Parker also said he liked the guy's hair (look closely, it is all braids....GREAT!!)


Of course Parker found a pretty lady and just had to have his picture made with her!

One of the coolest parts of the show. These tigers were huge. As you can tell, we had very good seats..it made me a little nervous!! How does that guy turn his back to them??!!




The elephants were pretty cool too!! These guys were HUGE and Sawyer begged us to ride one....oh well, maybe next time!!

parker is too cute! he's going to be a little heartbreaker. :)

and, on the picture thing... if you have a mac, then just pick your 6th picture. if you have a pc, go to your pictures folder, and then go to the 6th folder and select the 6th picture. if you don't have that many folders either, then just pick the 6th picture out of your last folder and post it and blog about it!
