Under the Big Top

We love the circus. We've been almost every year and love it. We always have terrible seats but hey that's part of the fun!

Meeting the animals before...

The four best kids I know...

 At the pre-circus show...

Jaxon loved it!

Our fantastic seats! Yes that wall is the back :)

After the circus, we asked the kids if they had fun. Kade told us " Actually (pause) I was kind of bored. It took like all day..." (it took about two hours)

Over the Top at the Circus

Yesterday, we went to the circus. Lizzie and Linnie saw it on TV and really wanted to go. It worked out that I got good tickets for really cheap so Paul took the day off (I had the day off due to Parent Teacher Conferences this week). Last time everything was so chaotic that we missed a lot of the extras to the show. This time we made it to see the animals before hand...

Blake is obsessed with elephants. He got a Diego figure set for his birthday that is a Diego and his elephant. He loves it and apparently loves elephants. He just kept yelling and pointing "Elephant" the whole time. He was in heaven.

The kids weren't too impressed with the tigers though...

And then we got to see the preshow up on the stage. It was cool being able to go right up close and see all the acts. Blake had a rough time towards the end. He had to go without a nap (yes it was insane!) and was so tired. This was before the exhaustion set in...
Lizzie and Linnie enjoyed it much more this time! They just sat watching never getting restless; I was surprised.

Paul and I both thought the show was a lot more entertaining this time, plus it was really long, about 2 1/2 hours. We had a ton of fun!
