The Duffys went to the circus yesterday. I've got to admit that "Greatest Show on Earth" pretty much nails it.

I asked the concession guy where all the employees live when they're in town. Do they stay in hotels?

"No," he answered. "We live on the circus train."

The circus train. How awesome.

Here's a video of the horse act. Pretty lame compared to the rest of the show, but I forgot to video the really incredible stuff. Too mesmerized.

Lydia's Valentine

 
Here's Lydia reading her Valentine message ... to you! 

cookie update

Lydia sold 98 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. That's enough for a patch!

Cafe cookies showed a strong second, but thin mints came in first. Who doesn't like a good thin mint (except Grammy, of course).

geocaching

It's the best! We've been with Grammy & the Khanjars & our neighbors. What's not to love? Purposeful, free, outdoors & exercise (bonus!).

This pic is of our first find last month with Grammy, who was smart enough to give Matt the GPS device for Xmas. Perfect present! Bonus surprise: Aunt Ginny had already been there a year earlier.

We are "duffyrocks" and we leave a small package of beads with each find. Next time we visit you, we'll be geocaching in your backyard.
