Circus

For the third year in a row, I took the kids to the Arlette Gruss circus. I've written about it before;

It's now a tradition. Ronnie did not want to go and Daniel took him to get his hair cut instead (not a pretty choice for him!) Talia didn't want Davina to go because "she only wants the popcorn and cotton candy". Talia's options were go with sister or don't go! We went and I got the girls their cotton candy and popcorn. 

 

These photos are taken with my iPhone, jsut to compare.

There's major construction going on at the border. I found myself driving down a completely new road that except for circus-goers, was not open to the public yet. 

IN this photo, you can see in the background the hotel that was burned during the riots when the Nato conference was held here (when Obama came, as everyone remembers it). 

After the show, we visited the animals. 

Davina wanted a photo with the tiny ponys. 

The girls loved this beautiful white horse.

Talia wanted her own photo with it.
