The Greatest Show on Earth!

Last night we went to the Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brothers Circus with Gabe and Wendy and the girls.It was our first time ever at the circus. It was pretty cool. We got there an hour early and you got to go down onto the floor to meet a bunch of the circus people. The show was great too. Kaitlyn said her favorite part was the tigers, Matt said his was the cannon (they shot two girls out of these HUGE cannons). They also had elephants, horses, clowns, tightrope walkers etc. It was a fun, but late night. Matt fell alseep with a half-hour left, but Kaitlyn braved it until the very end, only to fall asleep the second she was in her seat in the car. We'll see how tired she is when she gets home from school today, I actually had to wake her up to get her to go. It was worth it though.

Looks like it might have been even more fun than book club. Hope Kaitlyn survived today.

Looks like you guys had lots of fun! We went to the Barnum and Bailey Circus in Febrary and our boys loved it too.

Looks like fun! I've never been to a circus either. Maybe when the boys get a little older will brave it. Right now a late night busts Oliver's entire next day. You look great in that first picture, by the way!
