Big Apple Circus

In November, I had the pleasure of joining Spencer with his preschool for the Big Apple Circus.

For those folks not in NYC (which is probably almost everyone reading this), the Big Apple Circus has become something of an institution for the under 10 set in Manhattan. Or perhaps the parents of the under 10 set.

The circus is held under a real tent at Lincoln Center. The tent is nice, but it's actually a tent and it's set up each fall for a couple of months. In fact, one of the tents may be the same one used for NYC fashion week.

The show is very cute - catering perfectly to the audience: there are contortionists, all sorts of jugglers, dogs that do tricks, magicians with various slight of hand tricks, trapeze artists, and various other animals.

We sat next to Spencer's friend Nicholas. The two of them shared a tub of popcorn that they probably could have sat in. All in all, everyone had fun.

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
