and we have taken the family circus on the road and headed up north

Posted on July 11, 2014 by beth

under the big top in glen arbor, michigan

there’s always lots of action in all 3 rings

and then,

we relax and look ahead to another adventure tomorrow

Keep the circus going inside you, keep it going,

don’t take anything too seriously,

it’ll all work out in the end.

David Niven

Oh wow. Idyllic vacation place – beach, water, dock, boats, campfires. Wow. The cousins look like they are enjoying themselves immensely. Thanks for the Family Circus flashback – used to love that cartoon and so true. Great post Beth! Thanks for bringing us along!

You have found a heavenly big top, my friend. Enjoy paradise on the lake.

Can the elephants swim? When do the trapeze artists start? I love them!

Glen Arbor looks magnificent, Beth. Beautiful for the Family Circus.
