Clowns, Elephants and Jugglers

Last weekend our staff team went to the circus together! That's right:) I can't even remember the last time I went to the circus! I honestly wasn't sure how our kids would react...okay, really I wasn't sure about Ava. I knew Cooper's eyes would be glued to whatever was happening.

The first few minutes Ava had a hard time (even before it started) but really as soon as her friend Olivia arrived to sit next to her things were good! I love that! It was more fun to me watching our kids and our friend's kids than watching the tigers walk on two feet! I don't think Coop was always sure what was going on but he was sure to clap loudly and laugh when the crowd clapped.

Lately, I have been reminded to take the time just to enjoy the kids and the things they delight in! I somehow want to bottle up the pure joy they have in moments like these where they are enthralled with what they see!
