Big Weekend

Maple Leaf weekend found us very very busy! 

First up -- the parade:

That evening, we had tickets (and an extra!) to see Circo Comedia, a show at the Lied Center on KU's campus.  Coop invited his friend Madeline, and they both loved the show!  Tons of slapstick comedy, good music, a big of magic.  It was perfect!

We hit Orange Leaf afterward for ice cream.  (And somehow I found myself imagining their first date...)

Coop road a few rides with Gus and Eleanor:
