Uncle Dave, Ella, and me checking out our favorite show-Jonny Fox the sword swallower. He's SO funny and he really swallows swords (among other things). We were laughing about how he has the exact same scripted jokes every year and I still laugh! And I still cringe when the swords drop into his throat...fascinating but gross!
We had a very upclose view of the tightrope walked (close enough that he had us move when he started juggling knives up there!)
Ella "read" the map and tried to tell us which way to go
Ella loves Lauren and Marcus, the kids of a couple in our life group (even though her face doesn't show it in this picture!)
Ella also loves Karen, the leader of our small group
Ella fell in love with the baby bear statue
Chris using his juggling skills
Dave giving Chris W. a lesson
Keith and Jen looking cute :-) They have an especially adorable little baby and I can't believe I didn't get a picture of him this time!
Our Life Group! We love these guys!
And now, the highlight of the day....
Ella got to ride an elephant!
A little closer look at Chris, Ella, and Aday up on the Elephant. Because of her name, Ella has an affinity for elephants so this was quite an exciting thing :-) We really had a great time and Ella was super well-behaved (including sitting through 3 30min shows!) The fair still runs for another month or so-go check it out!
