At the “Circus”

On Monday Dawn took her kids and their friends to the Pacific Science Center, and Leslie and I were invited to help chaperone.

but got much braver when her mother joined in on the act.

As did several other adults who suddenly appeared,

which, in turn, inspired Lael to become even more adventurous.
