The Circus!

Last Sunday we went and saw the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Before the main show they let you go down onto the main floor and get up close and personal to the acts. Lots of fun, but wouldn't you know it some clown stole my wallet!

Circus dogs! Much cooler than regular dogs.

Ethan enjoying snacks and the feats of daring do

What!

Why do you keep laughing?

We did actually see some pretty cool stuff. Here's a few samples.

Look! It's a blurry elephant!

The husband and wife human cannonball team. That was the grand finale. Ethan slept through it...

A Trip to the Train Museum

Here we all are riding the train.

Andrew checking out the view on the other side of the train

The boys looking utterly enthralled by their little train trip.

Wow! so that's what train tracks look like!

Them is some big train wheels!

And that is a giant wrench!

Ethan the train engineer. His Great Grandpa would be so proud!

And here is our tour guide off to take us to the next exhibit. "Follow Me!"

This week, in the Bielawski House...

Um, I think he's trying to ride a very small dump truck and yes we are very proud



Because, see he helps with the dishes. Andrew will run from where ever he is in the house to the kitchen if he here's the dishwasher door open. I'm sure this will last all through the teen years...



The boys riding in the courtyard.



Andrew heading back into the driveway. That pavement is hot!

Annika's 4th B-day Party!

We were all kind of well enough to go over and enjoy the day with Annika. Unfortunately, once we got home the sickies that have been plaguing us all week returned a bit, but you wouldn't know it from all the fun had during the day.

Andrew doing his version



Andrew and Keagan having fun in the pool



I think they are still having fun in the pool. Maybe this is some payback for that smack snack at Grand's?

The big boys, parting away in Brendan's room as usual.

Andrew climbing the jungle gym



Beep, beep

The Trip to Bako

For the fun that was had on Friday evening you'll have to checkout the Ott Blog. I of course didn't have my camera...

But on Saturday I did have mine on hand to get some pix at the pool.

Grand's slim new remote, curiosity of the Ott Family

Is Andrew smacking Keagan or giving him a snack?
