Cirque Du Cycling and other fun.

Sorry it's been so long since I've last written.

The last two weeks have been difficult. Work stress has been following me home. Bad. I know.

But at least the kids and Chris have been keeping me busy. Constant motion keeps me from stopping long enough to think...which eventually leads to crying.

So yesterday the family checked out Laughing Planet's Cirque Du Cycling on Mississippi. This was our first so we didn't know what to expect. What we saw made us all smile.


The parade was awesome. So many cool one of a kind bikes!


People in fun costumes!


I want one of these....


The one section of the parade I wasn't prepared for was the last bit when about 100+ NAKED bike riders went past. I tried to cover Blake's eyes...but I realized it was a mute point. A snippet of the day's conversation:

B: Hey Ranen! Did you see all the nu-nu's? (giggle)
R: Yeah, some were even painted...did you see those? (giggle)

Later that day, as Chris and I were taking a nap, we were woken up to a puppet show staring these two characters.

Sadly, the orange M&M was attacked and killed by the sock monkey.

And Noro, well, he let this happen as long as we gave him a back scratch. And luckily for us, Chris found something that worked...
