Our trip to Seattle and the circus

When we went to go see Charles last weekend in Seattle, we drove down to Portland to go to the circus. The drive for three days was a little rushed because I had to be back in town on Monday morning for college orientation. But we had a good time.
Here's Daddy.
The kids were having fun playing on Daddy's newly installed stones.

Nice, pretty, dirty baby after eating lots of yummy sand.
The Bellocelebration parade! Everyone was a Bello head.
Pretty girls swinging from the rings.
Funny clown skits.
Two people shot out of the cannon and landed here on this big mattress.
