The Circus

Last weekend we went to the circus.  I haven't been to the circus since I was a tiny little girl.  All I remember was that it was in an actual tent and I remember seeing clowns.  It's a very vague memory.  There was so much going on that my kids were mesmerized the entire time.  At intermission I told the girls that it wasn't over yet.  Sammie said with big eyes and a huge smile, "There's more?!"  They loved everything.  We saw trapeze artists, clowns, a trampoline act, people spinning from the ceiling, clowns, a dog show, tigers, elephants dancing, horses doing tricks, a tight rope act, someone shooting out of a cannon...and more that I can't even remember.  After the show on the drive home we were talking about all of the things that we saw and I couldn't believe it.  The girls were so giddy and happy.  I only had the phone to take pictures so they didn't turn out so great and things are a bit blurry.  Most of the pictures are from the pre-show.  We got to look at the animals and go on the floor and watch a few of the acrobats and the elephants!  Olivia loves elephants so it was a complete feeling of satisfaction that she got to see them up so close at the pre-show.  The elephant was literally walking right in front of her.
