Circus with Z

I received 4 free tickets to the circus from work.  Bryan, Megan, Zoe and I decided to check it out.

Wasn't too bad actually.  The PETA picketers where a bit annoying, but other than that it was kind of fun.  This year's theme was Dragons since it is the Chinese year of the Dragon.

Can't have a circus without Lions and Tigers

Didn't really think we'd see goats, donkeys or llamas

This was the act I didn't like.  Bad picture but on that platform is a little dog.  He jumped on the platform and then it rose up several feet.  Next the little dog jumps and the trainer caught him.

This weekend we made a trip up to the property to work on the swingset.  Couldn't believe how all the leaves are changing right now.  Here are a few pictures from Snow Basin area.

The swing is getting closer to being done.  Not too much left.  Unfortunately the drill batteries died and we didn't have a charger so we will have to finish up on another day.

Drilling holes in the poles to mount the bar for the swings

The best way to get things up and down from the platform.

 

Measuring to see just how high they were

Hoisting up the swing bar

Tying the bar down, so hopefully it will still be in place next time we want to work on it.
