Tigers, Cats, Dogs, and Elephants, Oh My!







It's just one of those things that you have to do with your kids at least once-go to the circus. I find, as adults, we tend to view the circus as a form of animal cruelty but 5 year olds view it as a really cool occasion. So, we and the Wiselys trekked to the Alamodome for a Ringling and Barnum Bailey show. Instead of a three ring circus, we saw a one ring circus but that was fine by the kids. There was still plenty to see-some amazing acrobatics, men doing tricks on running horses, cats and dogs doing tricks, beautiful white tigers, elephants, and the ever present clowns. The kids seemed to like the elephants and the motorcycle act the best.

House progress


There's visible progress on our addition!! We have the plumbing done and most of the wiring. We're ready for the sheetrock to go up. But, George's company is so busy working on other jobs that he can't send any of his workers over to put in the insulation. So, who better to do the insulation that George and Susan. Yes, we hung all of that ourselves. And no, we're not done but we at least got the easy parts done.
