Super Bowl and Circus Fun!

Our small group decided to have a Super Bowl party and we had such a fun time!  Bryson was so excited to see if his NY Giants would win, but he was even more excited to have an excuse to have his small group friends over to play!  Along with a variety of appetizers, our family experienced our first shrimp boil (apparently it is pretty popular in the south).  For all you Arizona folks, it was basically shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, onions, etc. along with some spices, all boiled together.  It was really good!

We put a tv out in our garage so that's where most of the guys hung out while also cooking the food:

Zane put together a score pool for excitement (and also so some people could win some candy):

We just had a good time hanging out and watching parts of the game while eating yummy food and having great conversations.  :)

The weekend after Super Bowl ended up being pretty busy too!  One thing we got to do was take the kids to the circus which was so exciting!!  Ashlyn was absolutely in love with everything but especially enjoyed the elephants.  Bryson probably would have much rather seen the NC State Wolfpacks playing basketball there, but he did enjoy the circus!

These guys really almost gave me a heart attack!  I told Zane that this was one job I would not be able to let Bryson do:

I took a few videos, but Zane told me there was a sign when we walked in that said no videos were allowed. So, I will refrain from posting the videos of the circus and instead I will show you the video of the kids during intermission:

Bryson really loved when the basketball hoops came out and these guys did some tricks!:

The circus was definitely a blast!!
