A trip to the circus!

What a busy week we had last week! Lots of trips and adventures. I haven't had to time to blog about them all, so I will do it bit by bit.

Some friends of ours phoned to say that they had 5 tickets to see the Russian Circus performing at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. Unfortunately for them they were all unwell and couldn't go, so they offered us the tickets. We felt bad that they missed it, but it was great that we could use the tickets and they did not go to waste. So on Friday we headed to Belfast. Me, the kids and my sister H. Dan couldn't come as he was working so H gladly met us for the performance. It was very good. Jimmie and Annabelle really enjoyed it. Annabelle liked the clowns best, and Jimmie liked the acrobats. Barney talked the whole way through it, with a constant stream of questions... the first performance was a girl hanging from a great height on a long strip of fabric, turning, twirling, somersaulting. When there was a gap in the music and the whole theatre was quiet Barney piped up, at the top of his lungs "why can't I do that Mummy?" He's so cute. He had many questions... "how come that lady doesn't get hurt getting cut in half mummy?" etc.

Annabelle took a few videos of some of the performances on her camera, and I will load them onto youtube tomorrow. They are a bit noisy as her camera doesn't pick up such loud noises very well.

We felt bad about our friends children missing the performance so we bought them a little present from the souvenir shop. It was a lovely afternoon out. Thank you very much for thinking of us S and giving us your tickets.
