For years we have taken the kids to the Big Apple Circus. Chris’ parents enjoy coming with us as well. It had been on City Hall Plaza and our adventure involved taking the bus (always fun with little kids). Last year there was no circus as the Big Apple Circus filed for bankruptcy. We missed going and the kids even mentioned missing the tradition realizing the spring past without our trip. But this year it is back- at a different location- but still the same circus we have enjoyed for years!
Bren woke up on the Wednesday of April vacation to a big surprise- balloons and a gift bag. In the gift bag was a shirt “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink.” That was how he found out he would be going to New York for the day to see Mean Girls with Chris.
Chris ordered pink sneakers for himself and watched the movie to prepare. They took the bus and arrived for the matinee. A friend arranged a surprise backstage tour after the show as well! Bren had an awesome day!
School vacation week has become a mix of family time and time to hang out with friends- a staycation to catch up with people we like to hang out with. This one was a great one.
Vacation week kicked off with Aidan’s rescheduled airsoft birthday party. Some of the highlights included a trips to the Magic Beans rope course, 5 Wits and a trampoline park with Ella and Laurel. Brendan had a special trip (more on that later) and Aidan went to play laser tag.
