The Circus!

The girls spent the weekend with my mom and dad last weekend, while Jason and I stole away to Chicago for the weekend. Heaven. The girls had a fabulous time with Grandma and Grandpa, the main attraction being the circus on Saturday afternoon!

Ever since then, Marin has been walking around pretending to be on a tight rope and is even teaching her dollies to tight rope. She loved the animals and the "silly clowns" and the lights and the music- and of course, the enormous snow cone. What are grandparents for, if not to spoil? :)

Emilie loved it too- especially the bright lights and the music!

Both girls came home with a souvenir stuffed animal, and Marin is still asking to watch the video clips of the circus on the computer to relive the experience. What a thrill!

The girls rounded out their weekend with Grandma and Grandpa with church downtown Chicago, lunch with GG and OG, bubble baths and making popcorn on the stove. Great memories made for sure!

Love that your Dad has the baby carrier on! The pictures show how much they love their girls and how happy they are:)
Hope you had a fun weekend away

We absolutely had a ball taking these love bugs to the circus. Grandpa can't wait for next year.
I'm thinking about the Ice Capades, too.
Grandchildren are the best!!!
