Bellobration!


Well, we attended our first circus as a family. The last circus I went to was the Shrine circus in St. Louis as a high schooler because I always wanted to go. Yesterday, I had a blast with my family because we went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus! It was a Bellobration! Jack was mesmerized the entire time. He told me his favorite part was the elephants. I would agree, but I think my favorite part of show was the dogs or the tigers! Ainsley slept through a part of it, but when she was awake, she seemed to enjoy the show. I can tell you, I don't think anyone appreciates the circus unless you see it through the eyes of your child. I was excited for Jack the entire time and to just sit back and watch his excitement level was amazing. He clapped, he danced, he cheered, he didn't want the circus to end. We ended up buying him a toy elephant. That's what he wanted as his memories of the circus. Oh yea--he was playing with his play cell phone last night and he was calling the Papa's and Grandma's and telling them about the circus. It was fun to listen to what he was saying! And last I checked, he was sleeping with the elephant! What a wonderful memory we made!
