The Greatest Show on Earth

Today, we went to the circus! We decided to go early and experience the all access pre-show as well. You get to see many of the clowns and acts up close on the floor. You can even try on some of the costumes and watch Kelly Ann, the elephant paint a picture.

We happened to arrive at just the right time, on the backside of the arena...they were bathing the elephants! The girls went crazy and were so excited to see that.

The circus was quite entertaining, especially from the third row. Conal and I enjoyed it as much as the kids. Let me rephrase that, we enjoyed it as much as Hayden. We think Taylor loved it above and beyond any of us. She was NUTS over the circus!!


After the circus, we went to lunch at Friday's Front Row. That, in itself, was another treat for them. Taylor has never been to a baseball park before and they both thought it was cool to each lunch above the field. Hayden was rather annoyed that the Yankees weren't playing there today. She couldn't let it go that the Yankees were playing in New York and not where we were eating lunch. What were they thinking?

I was so excited to hear about the circus! We had a chance to get cheap tix thru Alex's respite, but I thought he may be a little too young; but it looks like your girls loved it! We would have been there on the same day! Liked seeing it thru your pics!

It looks like you guys had a great time!! I can't believe you even got to see the elephants get a bath. That's really cool! I'm glad you guys were able to make a full day out of it. I'm sure the girls LOVED that!!
