Kids Expo

This is a little delayed in getting posted, but two weeks ago now, I was a vendor at the Kids Expo at the Cardinals Stadium. I have done it a few years in a row but this year we made it a family affair....minus the girls, they stayed at home with Grandma Liz because it would have been a little bit too much for them. It was fun to have Lester and Joe help me this year, but it was also fun for them to explore the whole weekend and do tons of fun kid stuff! First thing we did was make a spot for Lester under one of my tables so he could read, color, and eat under there in his own little hide out to get away from it all if he wanted. He loved it under there that no one even knew he was there!

Lester and Joe got to meet lots of the vendors, the Taylor Family Circus was one of their favorites. Lester loved Clown Barbara! This is how he first met her....with her long legs!

















At the end of the first day, Lester said, "Mommy, Clown Barbara showed me how to ride the unicycle, but she had her short legs on!" She got a kick out of that when I told her that!

Lester even got to walk the tight rope!






















I wouldn't be surprised if someday Joe and Lester run away with the circus! Joe being the clown that he is would fit right in and Lester loved all the cool tricks and stunts!
Of course there was a kids zone with TONS of bouncers!









This one is my favorite.....AIRBORNE!

And there were tons of Characters wondering around all weekend for photo ops! This was the highlight picture of the weekend!!!!!! Lester LOVES The Cat in the Hat right now!












































































I performed shows multiple times a day with some of my larger animals.
My baby goat, Pringles!















My monitor lizard, Goliath!














Working Harley, my sugar glider out of his pouch!













My boa constrictor, Squeezer!












And, Lurkey the turkey!
He is always a crowd favorite!
The weekend was a huge success and I look forward to next year! Maybe by then the girls will be big enough to join in on the family fun!
