Circus

The Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey circus was in town.

Carolyn was so excited.  She worked hard on finding the perfect outfit, which included a lot of strategically placed hairbows pinned to her shirt.  I am not sure she realized the irony of her fashion choices. She looked just like a little clown.

The production was pretty awesome.  Great lighting, great orchestra/band, lots of great performers.  Tickets were not all that expensive either -- only $15 -- but you can really spend a lot at the circus.  We got out of there fairly cheaply with a $6 bag of popcorn and a $10 snowcone.  (Dad, like you, I did not give for a blinky light.  The going rate for blinky lights nowadays is $23)

You may remember the budget circus we went to last year -- the one that said their elephant just happened to be at the vet.  Well, this circus had 6 elepants and one baby.  One elephants even did a headstand.

My favorite part of the circus was watching Carolyn's facial expression whenever a new performer came out.  She was in awe.  She even got up and danced and cheered a few times. 

Elizabeth, on the other hand, just came along for the ride.
