The Big One at the Big Top

Our baby Jude turned one and to celebrate we had a bit of a party!!

Welcome to the

Spectacular Reynolds' Family Circus

You can't beat this show folks. Step right up and you will experience the great adventures to be had when turning one. :) We have balloons, we have monkeys...

(that's not all folks, hold in that excitement)

...we've got clowns,

and the death defying, thriller supreme - The Great Ollini!!

Oh no, that's not all.

Dad and brother Aiden have got a show for you. Watch out for the Coke and Mentos fireworks display!!!

(the audience ooooo's and ahhhh's) LINK to another experiment by the professionals.

And if that's not enough for ya folks, let us entice you with a few carny games down on the midway. :) We've got the all time, Jude Bear favorite...the ducks!! Which by the way inspired his first word, pronounced clear as day in front of us all, "Duck!" Because, really...who wants cake when you've got ducks right?!? And the Aiden favorite, fishing. This is a serious game, lots of prises to be won!! Aiden had a great time with this game and was so determined to reel his prize in...we had the hardest time getting him to pull his reel up and so ended up having to pitch the prizes over. :) Once he figured out the trick of it, Aiden wanted to be the prize guy. After I had given him a turn, he says to me, "Now you're turn, Mom." And so we traded spots and I threw my line in and caught a bag of Teddy Grahams!! Can't beat it right?!?!

The big top was a fun time for all. And Jude had a really great birthday and birthday party thanks to our family and all of their help.

And after the circus had packed up, we all circled around to enjoy popcorn in front of our own little outside movie theater (on the side of the big camper).
