Oh Whadda Face...

It's been awhile since I've added just a few fun pictures, so here are some of my lastest favorites and the things we've been up to!

Under the Big Top (aka-"I DIG Trucks")

We visited the Great Circus Festival downtown this summer (it really was summer, despite the clouds, jeans and sweatshirts). Apparently it hadn't been here in like 6 years, which I didn't even realize, but I did know it was F-R-E-E so we headed down. We met up with our buddies Carter, Aidan and Liam and their mom's Jen and Amy. The circus stuff was a little weird and sketchy, but now that I think about it, the circus is supposed to be weird and sketchy, right? Lots of strange animals in way-too-small cages (look out PETA). Some guy in a jumpsuit doing "death-defying" stunts. Lots of cool wagons to look at. Turns out, our favorite part was a display of big trucks--bulldozers, tractors, etc. I believe the festival was sponsored by the company that make the bulldozers and stuff, which was why this was even there. This is Will's latest obsession. He was in heaven. Very upset with me that I could not unlock these highly dangerous machines and let him have at it, but he liked climbing on and in what he could.

The Ice Cream Man Cometh

We FINALLY live in a neighborhood where the ice cream man visits almost nightly. I personally LU-HUV the ice cream man. I love anyone who vends goodies from a stand and/or truck. You should have seen me when "All Around the Mulberry Bush" was chiming off in the distance. "Gimme some money!!!" I said wildly to Jeff who handed over his wallet like he was being mugged or something. I grabbed the money, grabbed Will and practically skipped out to the curb!! It didn't take long to pick out an ice cream sandwich for me and this delicious "Bomb Pop"-style sorbet thing for Will and we were yummy, sticky messes in no time.
