2008 Puerto Rico Vieques Circus Crew

2009 Puerto Rico Vieques: The Best Circus Ever!

At this circus we got to meet the entire circus staff. They slept in these tents in the gymnasium at night. The children stayed close by watching their mama dance with fire. They were well behaved. I said to her that it must pay to dance with fire and do other circus tricks in front of your children. She said there were down sides too that once she walked into the kitchen and caught them throwing knives at each other. I walked around with her son because he was in the pack in play. I had the most fun ever. I hope to see them again sometime!

Here is Maya wearing a dress I'd just made for her and in her new haircut that I'd given her. The photoshoot was cut short by her trying to kiss the camera.

Tonight we made pizza and for dessert we made dessert pizza: pizza dough coated with maple syrup and thinly sliced ripe pears.
