Circus Circus

When we got back from China, Corin and I started a new tradition with our oldest daughter, Riley. Once a week one of us takes her out for something special- some special one on one time. Then the next week it's the other parent's turn. This has been great fun for us and I always love planning our next mommy-daughter time and look forward to it with anticipation. Riley loves it too. When our younger daughter gets older the parent staying with her will do something special with her as well.

This week it was my turn to do something special with Riley so we went to the circus! I think I was more excited than she was! I have never been to a real circus.I know I have been so deprived! We both had a great time. Riley liked the music and I found the motorcycle cage to be one the most amazing and scary things I've ever witnessed. They had about 10 motorcycles in this tiny cage going around and in and out of each other.
Now what to do next time? I'm thinking of creating a treasure hunt. But for now I know she has a special night with daddy at Chuck E Cheese coming up and that's always a sure bet for lots of fun!

I still remember a treasure hunt that I had with my dad where we found gold spray painted rocks. I thought they were real gold and was so excited. I think kids today would be on to this little trick, but I still remember how special it was.
