Last Thursday, the Farr House and the White House carpooled to Callaway Gardens to see the circus. The White House car arrived first and discovered, unfortunately, that the information desk at Callaway had given the Farr House the wrong information - the circus wasn't happening that night! We sat and stared at the empty tent for a few minutes with a storm of toddler anger brewing in the backseat. In a desperate attempt to salvage the evening and avoid an Emily-n-Abby-hurricane, we all trotted down to the beach to see what kind of fun was happening. We ended up having a wonderful evening! The girls loved walking in the sand and water - although they wanted to venture too deep and had to be pulled back to the sand. Abby had a great time bungee-jumping on a giant trampoline and Emily loved climbing through the giant blow-up village. They roasted marshmallows with a herd of other children, took lots of pictures, and generally wore themselves out. We tried to stop for ice cream at The Purple Cow in Pine Mountain, but they were closed, too! We really know how to plan a trip! So we stopped at a scary gas station for Cokes and candy for the ride home instead. We're attempting the circus for the second time tonight (don't ask - we made certain that it's happening tonight!) so I'll post pictures of that event tomorrow. Sometimes the worst evenings can be salvaged into something wonderful!
