Circus At Dedham Country Day School

We attended a family circus at a fair that a neighborhood school was holding.  It wasn't particularly large, but it was suspenseful and exciting enough for the kids so we, naturally, enjoyed it too!  After the circus was over, the children got to pet some baby barn animals (i.e. ducklings, bunnies, chicks, kittens, piglets and puppies)--an experience that both of them enjoyed very much.

A photo of the circus stage set-up.  It was a family circus so the father was a clown, the mother did a trapeze routine, the aunt did a routine on the blue cloth hanging on the left-hand side of the photo, one daughter swung from rings and the other daughter did a routine with a hanging hula-hoop-type-thing.

Her exact words were: "Oh, so bootiful!" (translation: "Oh, so beautiful!")
