'It's the greatest show on Earth'
Ok, it may not have been the greatest show, there were no elephants or tigers or men being blown out of a cannon...just a three ring circus of dancers, acrobats and magicians that put on a really good show...I don't think part of the show included falling off (the trapezest fell twice) an acrobat on a ball fell from a pretty lofty perch and twisted her ankle but she got right back on with a smile...the show must go on...we were pretty close to the floor so when the lights went down I could make out her sillouette...she was limping off...there was a tiger...just one...and it was in a tiny enclosure that they rolled out for pictures...$10 a picture in which the tiger was mostly hidden...the guy kept waking up the tiger who just looked like he wanted to sleep...she gave me such a forlorn look when they rolled her by...
Ok the kids had a really GREAT time...there was a kid about Jared's age that was the hit of the show...he was an adorable clown...the kiddos got those annoyingly adorable light guns and princess wands to wave throughout the show...by the time we got to our driveway we were hoping the batteries were wound down too...it was after 10 when we got home...the kids crashed right away and the first thing Jaiden said upon waking this morning "I like the CIRCUS!" And that after all is what its all about.
Its still in the 20s and snow is on the ground. When Daddy asked Jaiden if she wanted to go outside she said "NO its too COLD!" Then of course she forgot 5 min later and went to the door asking to go outside...

Isn't it neat to see things through the eyes of a child? Glad you had fun at the circus. Now, how are those batteries holding out?
Too cute! glad you had fun or more importantly that the kids did! So much fun to see the wonder on a child's face. :)
Oooooh I LOVE a circus too. We go every summer to the Shrine circus when it comes to town. It's pretty lame but still FUN! Sending you warm warm SPRING thoughts! Calling for wet, snow and rain the rest of the week for us too GRRRR! Kylie said when we got off the plane "Momma I want to get on another plane and go somewhere warm!" Me too baby!
