Circus Camp & The Big Bang Theory
In our previous post we uploaded some pictures of Charlotte's Circus Camp with Willy Badger.
What we didn't mention, is that the premise of their show was kept fairly secret until the big event on Friday afternoon.
We did manage to get some information out of Tig. She told us:
"I cant tell you, because it's secret; but I can tell you that it's set in the 1700's, about four or five months before the big bang. Did you know? They didn't have electricity then, and they couldn't even microwave a pizza."
Michelle and I were in stiches.
As it turned out, it the show was set in 1917, just a few a few months before the Halifax Explosion, and had nothing to do with the Georgian period or the creation of the universe at all.
At least she was right about the pizza!
Circus Camp - Willy Badger
The third week of Summer started off with Charlotte making juggling batons for her Friday performance of Circus Camp, hosted by the wonderful, Willy Badger: http://www.willybadger.com/.
We'll let photos of the performance speak for themselves...
Wonderful show. Such a great time had by all!
Art Camp - Maude Lewis
Charlotte has been enjoying her Summer, beginning with Art Camp, where she explored her inner Maude Lewis with this little gem.
Here's the original. They say immitation is the highest form of flattery!
Topical with the movie on Maude Lewis just come out:
Art runs in the family.

Drowned iPhone
We received a message from our friend Deb the other day that read:
"Hi there. My phone is dead. It went swimming with me accidentally...
...If you need me, please call Philip or Lucy."
Upon hearing this news, Charlotte replied,
"Maybe we should just call her phone, and then she can go in the water and look for the bubbles..."

Quote of the Day
(After realizing she had confused Reese's Pieces with Ritz Crackers) ...
"I forget a lot of stuff sometimes. Like, I even forget what a caterpillar is. One time, I even forgot how the alphabet goes, because we don't sing it as much anymore."

This morning while getting dressed for school: "Did you know tomorrow is my birthday-eve?!"
There is nothing like those excruciating last few days before turning 7 years old!
