Circus Act

Today we had to go to the doctor to get Carrie's ears re-checked from her ear infection two weeks ago. She was fine. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get some new panties for Alli and Hannah. Exciting, huh? They were very proud of their new panties.

The past few days the girls have been taking all the pillows off the couch and bouncing on the bare couch and jumping to the pillows on the floor. That entertains them for a long time. And they really get a workout from it. Today they pretended they were lions in cages at the circus by setting the pillows up against the couch to box it in. Then they had their handsome ringmaster (Mike) use his "whip" (an empty wrapping paper tube) to train them. They performed by standing on a giant pile of pillows and roaring, then they each took a turn standing on an upside down soup pot on all fours. The crowd (Carrie) loved it. I asked Hannah what lions eat. She said, "I don't know. Peanuts??"

Tuesday the weather was nice, so we decided to go for a walk with the wagon. Hannah and Alli both wanted to be in the wagon, so I put Carrie in the sling and started towards camp. After a while, I suggested we let Carrie ride. Both girls decided to get out, and they pushed and pulled while Carrie rode. They all had fun, and I didn't have to pull the wagon all the way! We picked up leaves and sang songs along the way. Then the girls played in the sandbox until lunch time. We ate lunch with Mike and the camp staff in the dining hall. The walk home wasn't quite as easy, but we made it. Hannah and I pushed and pulled the wagon most of the way.
