After school, we enjoyed our 1st experience at the CIRCUS! Mind you, it was over 90 degrees OUTSIDE the tent. Whew!! Despite the heat, we had a great time with Circus 1st time Emily & her mom (AKA: Stephanie). See below for Gracie's bestest part. Emily's favorite part: donuts
Cooling off with snowcones
Star power
Twirly girl
Gracie cheesin it up with Em & Steph
And then there were elephants - fuzzy elephants. The camera just wasn't working tonight :o(
Afterward, we snagged McDonald's; retreating to Grandma Marcia's house to dine & enjoy the bestest ice cream in the world with a menagerie of sprinkles. AND then there's Merf the dog. Gracie & Em had a great idea to draw kid-shy Merf out of his shell. Mastermind Grace suggested they sit on the couch with their french fries. They would hold one out for Merf to smell and pet him when he came to eat it. :o) Great plan except Merf can't eat people food. Too bad.
Last night's dreams: tons of kitties & puppies
Gracie's best of the day: seeing the horses at the circus
Mommy's best: Gracie's shining smile in the window when I came to pick her up
Gracie's worst: none today, though I know she really wanted one of those $10 balloons
Mommy's worst: none today - well, if I had one, it might have been the heat in the circus tent
Gracie's Prayer: Thank you God that you protect Papi from having a crash and keep him safe. Thank you that any of us never have a crash and always keep us safe.
**Thanks to Nae & Olivia for sharing this treasured bedtime routine with us - we've made it part of our own nighty night parade

That made me smile throughout. Gracie's growing up. Sounds like a good time, except the 90 degree weather, ugh!
I was about to say there's light at the end of the college tunnel when I read the sentence about grad school. Lots of Dutch respect here for the way you handle college, Gracie and still find the time to give her a life full of outings.
Is she in kindergarten now? Is it full day or half day?
Gracie is adorable. Looks like a fun time was had at the circus!
