The Greatest Show on Earth

Monday, I had the day off a school and a 50% off coupon to the Ringling Bros. circus that was burning a hole in my pocket.  So, Chris and I met Brian and Daniel and decided to make a day of it.  Logan was beyond excited and actually went to bed Sunday night talking about going to the circus the next day.  Chris and I were giggling as he was talking to himself in bed saying, "Go to circus? Yes, we go to circus."  I woke him up Monday morning, thinking he might not remember us talking about it, but the first words out of his mouth were, "Go to circus, Mom?".  I recorded this video during breakfast.

We arrived early since we had to buy our tickets there and we wanted to see the pre-show, but we actually were a little to early and had to kill an hour with 10,000 other people in the food court of the CNN Center. 

Luckily, a little Chick-Fil-A icedream and iPhone kept them pretty busy and their excitement (somewhat) contained. 

We finally made it into the circus and despite the crazy crowds we were able to see a little of the up close action.  The boys preferred stadium seating and the daddies were happy to provide.  :)

It's a little hard to see, but this is a elephant making a basket!  Logan LOVED the elephants.  

The boys enjoying there $6.00 drinks!  Yikes!

 

Logan's first trip to the circus!  He's already asking about when we can go back.  

 And....passed out!
