Big Top Fun in Little "d"

Saturday night with no plans and a burning desire to get out of the house...What to do, what to do? Our inspired idea? Head over to the rinky-dink mall in our town to "ooo and aww" over the pets at the pet store and to let the kids try out the circus acrobat jumping contraptions in the center of the mall. (I totally want to try this out myself, but not on Saturday night with a big audience.)

G-man was the last to get up his gumption to try it, but I got the best pic of him. His smile never left his face and he screamed, "Awesome!" after each jump.

Jenna was the first to brave it, but she was terrified after the first jump. She still has a few sensory aversion issues, but I'm so proud of her for trying it. Little Miss didn't have the muscles to bounce an ounce, so David had to pull her down and let her go like a rubber band each time.

Mason had a ball and wants to have his birthday party here with a couple of friends. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I took these photos with my little Cannon camera I keep in my purse, so I didn't have the best shutter speed for this. I love how Mason is sorta disappearing in this photo like Michael J. Fox in the Homecoming dance scene of Back to the Future. Come on, McFly! Kiss her already so Mason doesn't fade from existence!

**Note...Cole was at a Jr. High sleepover. Pray for me, cuz he's gonna be cranky with a capital C tomorrow!
