Nora's Colorado Wedding

Wren and I went to Colorado to participate in his friend Nora's wedding. It was awesome. They decided to start their day off by participating in a costumed bike ride on the Tour de Fat.

Here's too many pictures of the ride.

Here we are after the ride at the wedding.

And before the food...

On our way to the wedding (and back), we visited my friends Claire in Las Vegas (this is 5 in the morning),

and Jamie in Colorado, and Wren's friend Chris and his wife, and Wren's Aunt Rose in Colorado. While visiting Chris at his college, we saw this fun machine.

It was a full, fun, adventurous trip, and ended with Wren almost not getting on the last leg of our flight (stand-by can be like that). But we managed to miraculously both get on and get home.

The End.

Circus Campout

Circus Campout was so much fun! I'm so stoked that it happens. Here's Wren playing his favorite game during Cammpout: Vollyclub.

There's at least one show. Here's Bri performing her hat act, which I LOVE!

There are tons of workshops. Here's Chipps rock'n his handstand with a little hand from Harmony.

Sarah Sparrow. Boom.

Wren and I (just in case you didn't recognize us) making campout breakfast.

Chipps!

Wren, "Do I look sexy?" Josh, "Read my shirt".

More handstands!

Here's two different faces, after our 6 hour "Bullet-proof face paint" workshop with Fallon.

Jules and the ever-cute Charlie.

Oh baby butts.

Charlie!

Wren and Lebn juggling together. Aaaw.

I taught my first physical theater workshop at this campout. It was awesome. I had about 20 people. We did the 3 moves partner game.

Wren and I taught our rope workshop, and I also took the handstand, stretching for contortion,

lasso,

and twerkshop workshops. Whew! What a great Campout!

Steven and Shannos Wedding

Steven Bent and Shannon O'(something), two talented Chautauquins, were married at Lake Crescent this year, at the Olympic Ford Institute near Forks Washington. Here's Wren and me all gussied up for the occasion.

Here's me, Stevador, and Katie at the wedding.

 There were juggling casualties (not really, just silly business).

There was a sweet photo booth. This photo includes members of the Celebration Barn alums (Rod, Robyn, Andy, Me)

Steven and Shano paraded into their ceremony.

The traditional fire juggling around them.

The group photo.

It was a super fun time! Congrats to the new O'Bents!

House sitting for Bella

House sitting has perks like this. Bella. Outrageously cute, soft as a bunny, purr/growls when you pet her.

Awesome.

Wren's Birthday 35!

We returned from a weekend of Jamboree and Stillaguamish Festival (complete with stop at Wren's favorite cheap-food casing, Angel of the Winds) to find this beautiful sign on his door!

 It was the work of Cora and Margaret! They also made him his favorite type of cake, Carrot, complete with edible fire juggler on top!

 We met up with fun folks to celebrate at Boundary Bay. Some (like Fallon) even came dressed like Wren! What fun!

Our waitress brought him a birthday pie! He shared with us, and savored the last drop.

Then we went to juggle club, and it was a good one, so many people! There were even more folks that came dressed like Wren!

It was a super fun day, Wren had a wonderful time, and we ended it by sleeping out at the cabin. One of my favorite parts was seeing these ADORABLE pictures of Wren that his mom set out. This one might be my ultimate favorite... so cute!

 Moustachioed pirate.

 Stilter.

It's obvious that he was destined for circus, and fun. Happy birthday Wren!!!

Subdued Stringband Jamboree 2014

This year we were part of the Stringband Janboree! It has been over 3 years since I've been, and boy, what a time we had. Here we are at our camp via Vince!

The Circus was in full force this year at the Jambo, performing somewhere everyday, at least once a day. Wren and I got to perform our rope and high-five act...

 teach juggling and rope tricks, and I got to learn a teensie bit of how to play my accordion!

 Chipps was there and performed, taught a workshop...

and MC'd the circus show!

 Justincredible was there, performing and playing.

Jason Quick was there juggling balls, plungers, and bowling balls, and being his charming, hilarious, talented self.

Vern and Fallon were there performing their super awesome ball juggling act.

 The Jollies were there juggling fire along with Chipps, and Don.

 Dream and Greg were there with their funny, funny aerial act.

 Laura, Chelsea, Esther, Jen, Jenny Atomic were also there performing.

And an all-time favorite band of mine, the Gallus Brothers played. Along with Rattletrap Rucus, Skitnik, and the Crow Quill Night Owls. It was awesome.
