I took the day off work today to take the kids to the circus. It was so much nicer taking them on a Friday, rather than Saturday when it's so crowded you can't move. It was busy, but not so busy I was afraid of losing one of the kids.
Grace and Gabriel were looking SO forward to having cotton candy. That's all they talked about on the way over. As soon as we found our seats, Grandma took Grace and found the cotton candy.
Here she is with her much anticipated blue cotton candy.
We had great seats on the floor in the fifth row.
Gabe watched in amazement.
I thought the tigers were so cool! It is amazing how these huge wild animals can be trained to do a show like this.
Grace couldn't stuff that cotton candy in fast enough. She came downstairs this morning at 7:30 with her clothes in her hand. She said, "Okay, Mommy, I'm ready to go to the circus. Wait! I need a ponytail holder!" Then she refused to eat breakfast because she was "going to eat cotton candy at the circus." She is such a funny girl!
I looked over at her once and she had a gob of cotton candy just hanging from her mouth.
During intermission Grace wanted to ride a pony.
Gabriel wanted to ride an elephant, which I was willing to let him do. After he saw how high the seats on the elephant were from the ground, he said, "Maybe I just want to ride a pony with Grace." He is so cautious.
Grace wanted nothing to do with the clowns, which was no surprise. Gabriel wasn't entirely impressed by them, but being a good boy, he agreed to have his picture taken for Mom.
Grace was so excited to see some of the amazing face painting that was being done. She wanted to have her face painted so badly.
She chose a butterfly. It looked so pretty on her!
Grace got tired during the second half of the show. She wanted to go home so badly, but Gabriel wanted to see the show (So did I, for that matter.) At one point, Grace danced on the stairs next to our seats. It was cute and it kept her entertained for a minute.
