Climbing, Cake, Clothes, Chalk, and Clowns…
I think this one is kind of obvious! They were all a part of our day on Saturday. We had Ashleigh’s birthday party and then went to the circus!
Ashleigh’s party was held at Merritt Athletic Club in Canton. We used one of the cardio rooms and they made it a Dora filled event! We walked in to the Dora soundtrack, a Dora cut out for the kids to stick their faces in for photos, a ball pit, they used the step aerobics steps to create a moutain filled pathway to Dora’s house, and they had some nice foam pieces for the kids to climb on. They had a blast!
We had a great turn out, the kids seemed to have a blast and Ashleigh was thrilled to get to spend the day with her friends and family. I loved the fact that I didn’t have to stress about the weather! After the rainy birthday party last year, I decided I didn’t want to go through that again! The chalk and clothes were some of the fun presents she got. Ashleigh loves sidewalk chalk in the nice weather, and we used all we had left over already! So, she was thrilled to get 3 buckets of sidewalk chalk! She also got an awesome art easel with a chalk board on one side, a dry erase board on the other, and a paper roll that comes down for painting and coloring! She is having a blast with that one!
After the party was over we headed to the otherside of the harbor for the circus! As part of her birthday present from Aunt Beth and Uncle Roy we went to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily’s Circus. Ashleigh was a little overwhelmed at first with the noise level and the crowd, but she had a great time! She loved seeing the animals the most. The elephants were very cool, the tigers showed us a few tricks, and the dogs…oh the dogs! The dogs were doing all sorts of dances, they were doing acrobatics, they went down the slide, and some were even wearing funny clothes.
We all had a great time and we have tons of photos to share! Enjoy!
