going to the circus....

Last weekend the Ringling Bros. Circus came to town!! It was the first time going to the circus for all four of us so we were all very excited. We took the train down into the city and Luke was almost as excited by that as he was to go to the circus! Although he was very disappointed that the conductor did not come up and down the aisles and take the tickets, like on his favorite TV show, Dinosaur Train. But the circus was amazing. The animals and the acrobats and the magicians and the clowns--they were all so great. And we had a wonderful time!

waiting for the circus to start!

watching the acrobats, swinging so high up

the elephants walking in...

Check out those elephants!! Amazing!

Watching intently and yes, that is Henry fast asleep in my lap.
Poor thing, he tried to stay awake to see the tigers, but just couldn't.

arguably the best part of the day...riding the train into the city!!
