The Ringling Brothers Circus is in town! Every year when the circus comes to town, they have some of the animals take a walk right through the city. Lucky for us, they walk right by one of the parks I take Lillie to. We stood on the sidewalk while the animals walked right past us.

The elephants were NOT Lillie's favorite, unfortunately. As soon as she saw their massive bodies turn the corner, she started backing up. Oh well, it was worth a try.


Here are some of the half horse, half zebra animals. I forget the name of them.


Lillie DID love the horses. She couldn't stop staring.



Today, Lillie and I took a 30 min. drive to visit a "new" friend for Lillie. Sydney, who is 3 years old, and her family, are in the stake and friends of ours. They live a little ways away, so we have never really had a playdate with them. Sydney's mom, Paula, and I finally decided to plan something. The two girls had a great time playing with eachother. Of course, the highlight was finding a new park with great play equipment. You'll have to watch the video below to see Lillie in action.
