A Little iphone Photography

Ang finally got round to downloading some photos from her new phone from the last two months
a few favourites

Circus Tree Frog

This afternoon we got to check out what harriet has been learning all week at Circus School.
They put on a great show with all sorts of tricks on trapezes, silks, cargo nets and lyra as well as tumbling, poi and juggling.
Harriet was a tree frog for her performance hence the green facepaint.

poi

and up onto the trapeze with two others

she had lots of fun and made a new friend (beside her in the pink)

Billy watching the show

and congratulatory cuddles with mama afterwards

sadly her Hip Hop class has changed to a day we can't do this year but it looks like she might be able to do more circus instead

BDO

Isabella was the only one to go to Big Day Out but it works just as well for Boys Day Out which is what the rest of us got to do while Harriet went to her last day of Circus School.

choosing suitable wands

for more Harry Potter play

even Arlo has become obsessed with the wizarding world asking to have Harry Potter put on the DVD and it sounds so cute when he names all the characters

after some serious spell casting it was up to K rd for coffee and bagels, Pinball and checking out a new gallery with a Pac-Man game
