Toria's big "3"

On a hot and windy day in July, we celebrated our little gal's third birthday. All She wanted was a circus/elephant party. So... that's what she got. I attempted to turn our backyard in to a "greatest show on earth." We had our deck turned into a circus tent(note the "windy" previously stated, not so helpful in keeping that tent together). A clown, "Bubbles",  who provided the face painting/magic show/balloon animals entertainment. We had two amazing cakes(thanks Aubri!!!) 1)an elephant and 2) a circus tent. We had a pink elephant pinata, make your own clown hat, circus coloring pages... and well, that's about it. The only request that I could not make happen for my ever so easy to please tyke was an elephant ride. Yes, just a small request. But, alas, there are no elephants for rent in Utah. In fact, there are no elephant rides, that I could find, anywhere except for India. A little too far and too exotic of a trek for the time being. Still, she was thrilled with everything. Especially the elephant cake. I think she only stood staring at it for about 15 minutes.
