Circus!!!

Today Rett and I went to the circus in Ft. Worth. One of our wonderful former neighbors in Casa Linda called me earlier in the week and told me that she had two extra tickets (she had bought them for her daughter and son-in-law, but they couldn't get off work) for Friday's 10:30am show. She wanted to know if I would be interested in taking Rett. I jumped at the opportunity!
Rett and I were out the door at 7:45am and didn't hit ANY traffic (a miracle) we arrived just before 9am to go to the "animal open house" so we could see the circus animals up close. After making two trips around to see all the animals we headed over to the arena to see the "preshow". We were the first ones in the door and walked right down to the circus floor where we met the performers, saw poodles jump through hula-hoops (which Rett asked if Bodie could do that),watched some amazing jugglers,and saw an elephant paint right before our eyes!
Next we found our seats and they were spectacular! We were only 8 rows back from the front row! Rett did great despite a really long morning. He stayed surprisingly focused on the show for a long time. We left during the last perforance and beat the traffice out of the parking garage. It was a fun day-just the two of us, and one I will remember forever.

Look at how small Rett is compared to this poster:

The only picture that Rett requested that I take...in front of the chopper!
