The Circus

We went to the Circus!***********The circus has a bit of sentimental value to both Taylor and I. Sounds silly I know but exactly 6 years ago Taylor met the girls for the very first time when he took us to the circus. We'd been dating for a few months and had decided we were serious enough to introduce him to the two of them. They were only one and four then. I remember being so impressed at how easily they both took to him and how easily he took to them. On the way out Megan sat happily on his shoulders while Ali pulled on his hands and shirt for his undivided attention. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to find such a man. ************

We went early so we could get in on the 'pre-show' fun. First we got to go behind the scenes and see where they keep the animals while they are on tour.

The elephants were cool, and when one started to pee an employee quickly shoved a large bucket underneath it. Mattie pointed and loudly proclaimed "its going on the potty!!"

After seeing the animals we went inside to get autographs from the clowns and to watch the pre-show clown college.
we got to watch the elephants paint pictures, the clowns do tricks, dogs jumping through hoops, and ponies doing tricks. All from a few feet away.

It was a good thing too because our actual seats were in the nose bleed section.

all in all a Very good time. we made it through the entire thing.

The kids loved it.
