Circus!

Okay, really--what kinda circus doesn't have any tigers and only one clown?  Don't get me wrong it was enjoyable--but when the kids (and you) would like to see tigers and they don't show them its a little disappointing.  I loved watching the kids' faces as the circus started--they were completely enthralled with the show.  Here is a picture of us at intermission. 

Here is one deployment issue that happens a lot with us...How much can I do with the kids while Danny is gone?  He would never tell me "no" to doing something without him, but I want him to experience these things also.  The circus was one of those things.  This is the kids' first time going to the circus and I hated that Danny missed it.  On the other hand,  I can't keep the kids in a bubble for the year.  So, we went.  But other things I refuse to do without him.  Seaworld, Disney, Universal Studios---all things that will wait till Danny comes back.  The zoo or other small trips--we might make happen--with lots of pictures :D
