Last week was a spectacular (and exhausting!) week for Evie and Noah. They participated in circus camp, which was put on by the former director of Circus Smirkus. We have always loved attending the Circus Smirkus shows, so it was very exciting for them to be able to participate in a show of their own. They learned all kinds of new skills - juggling, riding a unicycle and a pedalo, human pyramids, hula hoops, arial stunts, and more. At the end of the week, they put on an hour-long performance to showcase all of their new skills, and we were amazed! This was their last camp for the summer, and we certainly ended on a high note!

We didn't have a lot of time to do much else last week, but we did have the chance to see a couple of very special people in our lives. Aunt Donna visited from South Carolina, and our dear friend Lora visited with her family from MA. We hadn't seen either of these families since pre-Covid, so we cherished our time with them!

Over the weekend, we had some free time (finally!), so we checked a few more things off the summer bucket list! We are scrambling to do all the things before we have to switch back into school mode!
