Circus and Snow Day

A few weeks ago we surprised the kids with a trip to the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus.  We took them to Friendly’s for dinner first and told them where we were going next.  We were a little worried that Avery wouldn’t sit through the whole thing but she loved it just as much as the big kids.  I remember liking the circus too but I think it has gotten even cooler over the past 20 years.  Alli’s favorite was the ponies, Avery liked the dogs, and Cole liked the seven motorcycles in the giant ball.  It was a great show!

The next day, we needed to go to Loews so we left around 3 to pick up a couple of things wearing pants and jackets.  By the time we left the store, it was snowing!!  It was pretty crazy to see that much snow in early October.  Cole kept asking in the car if it was winter already.  Jim just replied, “No Cole, it’s Boston.”  I took a few pictures of the fall flowers and Halloween decorations covered in snow.  Such an unusual sight.
