A few last minute photos from grandpa Tom. Fun in the pool, chillaxin', boy in a box, and our beautiful niece Chloe.

Sunday night at the circus

Charlie got some special time at Grandma & Grandpa's house, while we took the boys to the circus Sunday night.  Of course, the venue was ringed by PETA protesters, claiming that the circus beats animals.  I wanted to comment that I do prefer my animals tenderized before I eat them, but Katie said she'd kill me for some reason...  

Henry looks excited 

"Pregame" show on the floor 

Elephants up close! 

Beautiful ladies!

Another beautiful Utah evening 

Lifetime had an exhibit of their terrific outdoor products - almost as much fun as the circus! 

Ladies swinging on ropes 

We were pretty high up, but my dad's old camera did a great job capturing some great images. 

Tommy, pretty entranced. 

Dudes standing on horses! 

Lions! 

Ladies contorting in globes 

Twirling by their hair 

Kung Fu masters! 

Hitting each other with bamboo rods!

Bending rebar on their necks!

And wooden canes! 

By half-way, the boys were all too excited to stay in their seats... 

Uncle John's foot of safety, saving Henry from a perilous fall down 3 steps.

Dogs! 

A puppy conga-line, with an upside-down lady! 

A "trained" cat - whoopeee
