We went to the circus yesterday! Originally, I bought tickets months ago for Emma and myself, Karen and Todd and their kids, Tim and Jenny and their kids, and Grandma. Well, Jenny messed up her knee and mom was having a migraine again. So they were out. But it worked out well since Scott and Matthew have been visiting for the past few weeks and they were able to come with us. It was lots of fun. This was their first trip to the circus for most of the kids and they thought all the animals and performers were really neat. We even got there an hour early so we could go down into the rings and meet the clowns and acrobats and see some of the animals up close. This was actually Emma's LEAST favorite part of the show. Turns out she has an aversion to clowns, and pretty much any other oddity that approaches her. Once we were safe and sound, up in our nosebleed section seats, then she was more comfortable and seemed to really enjoy the show. We saw tigers, elephants, horses, llamas, and donkeys. There were clowns,tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, pirates, mermaids, chinese dragons, fire breathers, contortionists, etc etc etc. Plus the kids were treated to all kinds of goodies ~ popcorn, snowcones, cotton candy. They had a ball. Emma was wiped out by the last 15 minutes or so.
