All Aboard the Amazing Circus Train!

After completing a Mall Walkathon, we were able to receive 4 tickets to the circus. The Four Byrds in attendance had a BLAST!
It's hard to say which entertainers were our favorites because they were all sooooo fascinating to watch!

Very Involved Mom got lost on the way home and happened to end up right by the railroad tracks where the actual Circus Train is stationed. We all counted a different number of train cars... between 38-49... but nonetheless a large number to be able to transport such a massive group of performers, animals, trainers and other staff/family members.


Here are only 3 of the incredible shows that we saw at the circus!
Sorry no sound on our camera. :(



Barnum Bouncers





Elephants!




Torres Family


We all loved the "The Greatest Show on Earth"!

...You Can Come too.... We're Going to the Zoo!

Decided to visit the zoo for free on August 23.
Target was sponsoring the Free Day by asking for school donations.
We had bought back-to-school supplies, so we thought we'd contribute a few of our own surplus items for the cause. Though it was a scorching HOT day, we had a nice lunch break with Hard Working Dad.
