Today’s D.A.D. is for anyone who’s light on their feet (or not so much, like myself) but still enjoys dancing like no one’s watching … I bring you Tiptoe through the tulips:

I can’t believe we’re already into August … ack! Where does the time go? Here’s to as many lazy, hazy days as possible of what’s left of our summer … Belly up!

I just got back from a great week off myself (yay to Montreal and Quebec City!) so am still adjusting to reality …

Have you noticed how fearless some kids can be? I recently met Ali, Marc’s 9-year old niece, who’s enrolled in kids’ circus school and loves it … what a cool way to channel her boundless energy (the type that should be bottled and sold!). I was in awe watching her effortlessly turn somersaults, buzz around on her unicycle and bounce from the backyard trampoline to hang from the basketball rim above it.

Mr. Hippo in today’s D.A.D. may not have the same energy level but he’s holding his own on the highwire – here’s Walking a fine line:

Years ago, I got to swung from a trapeze at a one-day circus class … it was fun but think I’ll leave the unicycle riding to others (I have enough challenges on two wheels).
