Circus Party

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, please join us in celebrating the double birthday of Lance and Eden!

Entertaining us will be Mr. Stripes and Curly Girly the clowns – turning 6 and 2.

Here’s the whole troop – definitely a three ring act! Let the show begin!

Step right up, step right up – today is your lucky day!

Try your skill at the dart throwing booth. The darts are sharp, balloons are thin, it’s a sure win! (Flora literally “steps up” to increase the odds of winning).

Roll a ball, knock them all down -  a prize for each boy and girl!

Pick a duck, every one is a winner! So easy a child can do it – in this case, the very young child.

 

Is the hand really quicker than the eye? Find out in a quick game of guessing – if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!

A circus rolled into one act – Ivy is walking a “tightrope” in “clown shoes” while take a peanut in a spoon to feed the elephant.

Concessions included peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs and lemonade

 

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I present to you an original act by Mr. Stripes the clown!

.

And now, please direct your attention to the center ring where Mr. Stripes will blow out a ring of fire as part of the tiger act! Curly girly will charm the crowd with her birthday song routine.  

As a grand finale, Mr. Stripes will make a stupendous dive face first into a chocolate cake!

After show entertainment included a cotton candy machine borrowed from a friend.

Eden enjoys her sweet treat.

Then we let everyone bounce off excess energy in Aunt Lori’s toddler bounce house…

  

…and the big kid bounce house we made by enclosing our trampoline with sheets.

And so concludes the Greatest Show on Greenleaf Lane! Come back next year!
