Today Darcy started her swimming lessons again. After swimming with her life jacket all by herself so much this summer, it was hard to keep her near me!
After that we met Johanne& Sofia and Melissa, Maya & Gabriel at the CIRCUS!!!!

| Maya went for a ride on the elephant. Darcy wanted to and walked all the way up the stairs, then realized how big they are and changed her mind! |

I have not been to a circus like this, i.e. one with animals in it, since I was about 10 years old. At that time I decided that I would not attend anymore circuses featuring animals, as it is not a natural place for animals to be. After 25 years I gave it another chance...not convinced that they get horses and elephants to do this by treats and praise alone...

It was great to get together with Melissa and Johanne!
