Ringling Bros. presents Funundrum playing Feb. 9-13, 2011








Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® is roaring into town with Barnum’s FUNundrum!SM, a new jumbo-sized, un-miss-able event celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of legendary P.T. Barnum, the Greatest Showman on Earth! Leap aboard and go on an unbelievable excursion that brings together performers and characters from exotic countries all over the world. From the moment that you arrive, the momentum explodes as The Greatest Show On Earth® comes to life in a way that can only be inspired by the greatest showman who ever lived.

Thrill-seekers may pay for the entire seat, but will only need its edge as a rip-roaring motorcycle troupe braves fear and physics in the 16-foot Spherical Miracle. Height-seeking high-wire artists perform 40 feet in the air, all while at a 45 degree angle. Body Benders use their bodies in the ultimate test to see how far the human body can be pushed in a mind-blowing world of distortion and contortion.

Just as the Ringling Bros.® train keeps traveling from city to city, Barnum’s FUNundrum! keeps the energy going As each extraordinary act blends thrills and contemporary spectacle to over deliver a heart-racing experience that, until now, was beyond imagination! At Barnum’s FUNundrum!, the funtastic and funbelieveable experience answers the FUNundrum! “What wonders create The Greatest Show On Earth?”

Merry Christmas from the Fennells!

Wishing everyone Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving - and have much to be grateful for! We are blessed with wonderful family and friends! We survived Black Friday and managed to get some good deals - a little sleep deprived - but only 1 more gift to purchase and the shopping is all done.

Looks like we will have a quiet Christmas and are preparing for Santa's arrival...needless to say, Owen is very excited!

Merry Christmas to all!

Owen this year, insisted on being a Maltese knight - not the tunic kind, but wanted a full suit o armor! I managed to find a silver costume online, added a knight helmet, cape, sword, an shield. I spray painted some old shoes silver and added some red Maltese crosses. He looked adorable!
Sir Owen, my knight in shining armor!

Owen's 1st Day

This is it! Owen's first day of kindergarten! We are all sooo excited!

Owen was beaming with his new Phineas and Ferb backpack with matching attachable Agent P lunchbox! We have staggered kindergarten entry here - meaning that over the next 3 days - the kindergarten kids will go in smaller groups on specified days. This gives the kids a little more time to get used to things and for the teachers to assess the children. The first day for all the kindergartners is Wed Sept 1st.

I think Owen is more excited that he gets to ride the school bus home more than anything else! LOL!

I cannot wait for him to come home and tell me all about his day!

This promotion that I am sharing with you is for Charlotte only. Hopefully, I will have something to share for the up coming shows for Raleigh in December!

Enjoy!
Well, I cannot believe it! Owen is starting kindergarten! My how the time has flown! What happened to my little baby boy? Well, he is all grown up - 5 years old and already 47" tall and 45 lbs.

I know that he is ready - he knows all his letters, sounds and can write them too. He is even reading level one books on his own. He wants to go and is excited!

I am excited for him too - but at the same time a little nervous. The school bus routine worries me a little - will he know what to do? will he know how to handle himself? will he be okay? LOL! Just normal "mommy questions" I guess!

With Owen being gone all day, I guess I will have more time to dedicate to my blog too.

I will keep you all posted on Owen's kindergarten adventures!
