The Greatest Show on Earth

Last Sunday afternoon we went to the Circus. We got there an hour early for the All-Access pre-show which was better than the little circus we went to a few months ago.

We got to see the clowns juggle!! And Grace got to meet the man with the mighty muscles and get his autograph!

This elephant is Kelly Anne. She is an artist! Grace enjoyed watching her paint a picture with her trunk. Before the show got started she asked for her own little Kelly Anne to take home. During the circus she was holding her elephant and then noticed a little green blob (tattoo) on the lady sitting in front of her. She is now convinced that her elephant pooped on the lady's back at the circus. This was also her favorite part.

A strong man

And at one point during the circus Grace started walking up the stairs. My Mom was sitting in the aisle seat so she went to get her. When she asked Grace where she was going she said "to get cotton candy" A few minutes later they came back with a bag of cotton candy.

Olivia decided to sleep through most of the show. She woke up at the very end and didn't quite know what to think about all the lights.

And my Mom has more (and much better!) pictures than I do so be on a look out for them on her blog - Artistic Images

The Circus Came to Town!

A couple of weeks ago the circus came to our little town. We decided to take the girls and invited their Grandma and Grandpa (they came with us to the zoo too) to come too!

I didn't get but a couple pictures because the spotlights were pretty bright and I thought the pictures I did take looked horrible on the back of my camera. I just put the camera away but when I looked on the computer I was surprised they even came out this good.

There were lions and tigers. One of the tigers got in trouble for peeing on the stand it was sitting on. Grace likes to tell people about that because it was kind of funny.

Her favorite part was the juggler. She still talks about the guy who juggled. She will get her arms moving and all excited say "the guy juggled." She will even tell you everything the guy juggled - hats, rings, balls. She also really liked the clown. "He jumped. And he bumped his head. That is really funny." I guess the other parts just weren't as exciting because she never seems to mention them.

Oh, and what is a circus without cotton candy and a snow cone?
And Grace decided on the big bag of cotton candy so she could share!
