We visited a nearby lighthouse today. Most of the lighthouses around here are tiny. But none the less it was fun and a great break from the crazy circus-boss lifestyle I have been leading. James and Victor stayed at the fairgrounds at the RV the night before so they couldn't make it. However they were happy as clams hanging out with the Wallendas.
Titus even had fun. here he is with the wind in his hair and the sea crashing behind him.

Ok Uncle Eddie is weird...but in a good way...notice there is a warning sign above him.

A smooch by the lighthouse.

Olivia found an old lobster pot maker on the rocks.

Last year we made front page. We just got the paper today from the manager.

Our set up after the shows ...notice the Wallenda set up in the back ground.

This is where we set up , eat, and rest between and after shows.

A beautiful day and perfect shows. Victor did his rope tie challenge and this was one of his toughest yet. He was bound very well and it took him over 2 minutes to get out. he had 3:45 to get out, so it was a win. I walked on broken glass for the first time in Maine today as well.

We have been working hard to keep ourselves from looking cluttered and unkempt backstage so there has been a big movement here to make things nice looking all the time. It's a tough effort by us all.

Cynthia Skyped us at the fair and we had a brief chat. She has a light day today and is loving college.

I mentioned Uncle Eddie went to the doctor the other day. He has Bronchitis. Though he went to the lighthouse, he was ill all day and stayed at the hotel. The meds are affecting his system rather strongly. he is however, feeling better.

Have I mentioned how nice Maine people are. At least out here they are. I read the Portland ME people want to give non-citizens the right to vote....every state has their nutso area...I think Portland is Maine's embarrassing crazy uncle.
