The Greatest Show on Earth!

Watching the circus performers intently...he couldn't wait to see the acrobats!  And yes, he even used that word!  I told ya...we'd been studying up on the circus all week!
The face after eating some cotton candy...did the cotton candy cause this face or its $12 cost??
Going in for a bite of cotton candy...
Mommy & Bear Cub...heading in for the show!

Yesterday was our big outing to the circus!  We had a really great time and Bear Cub was so excited to see the acrobats and the animals.  We were able to see the elephants outside as we were walking in to the arena, so that was also a treat!  Once inside, we let BC walk around and check out all the goodies before heading in to find our seats.  Our seats were terrific!  We had a great view of the entire show.  He was pretty enthralled with the lights, music, dancing, and performing of the show.  He did get a bit squirmy towards the end, but luckily the shift between clown acts and animal acts helped keep his attention.  He told us afterwards that his favorite part was the dog act.  It was pretty funny!  They had lots of little dogs do all kinds of tricks - jumping rope, walking on their hind legs, doing flips, you name it, they did it!  He got a real kick out of this!  We did buy some cotton candy -- I had to have some! -- and I pretty much ate the whole bag by myself.  My boys just don't dig the cotton candy like I do!  Oh well...they gave it a try and I finished it off.   You gotta do what you gotta do...  ;)

Have a great week ahead!  I'm hoping to have a relaxing, low-key week at home.  Bear Cub has a pretty goopy head cold now and I have a sore throat, so I think we need a little down time.  We'll be back to our busy, bouncing selves soon enough, I'm sure!  :)
