Circuses!!

A fun Friday with Karen & Wayne in Sarasota.

Once the winter home for the Ringling Bros Circus...

Wayne's mother lives in a former Ringling "company" house.

Originally owned by the Gorilla trainer....

it comes with an attached cage!!

Now a kitchen nook...these three weren't monkeying around.

Off for a tour of the Ringling mansion built in 1926.
Quite a stunning home...

even a 6 foot tub from one piece of marble.
I can only imagine the parties held before the crash of 1929...

FAMILY CIRCUS!!

We arrive home after midnight Friday--but Sam is still up.
What about Uncle Dale---nah...
he is trying to adjust from his 2 weeks in Tanzania.
On Saturday Dale joins his brother at work....
Pretty hard duty riding around in the cart all day.

After so much hard work...time for a nap

in front of the baseball game.

We think Sam only comes home from college

to see his favorite "girl!"

She sure loves him!!! Or is it his snacking??
