Under the Bigtop!

The circus is in town!!!!! I saw a flyer about it a while back then Nana offered to keep Beau if we wanted to go. We decided this morning that tonight's 6:30 show would be perfect. Of course we talked about the circus with Lincoln all day, and he was so excited! He would shout with glee about the elephants and tigers and crowns (clowns!), but I know he must have had absolutely no idea what he was going to see. Every car we passed on the way to downtown was going to the circus too, according to Lincoln. His excitement was precious! The show began with the big parade of animals, motorcycles, clowns, dancers, gymnasts, and the ringleader. Linc was already entranced! During intermission he got to pick a toy, and believe me it was a difficult task. Finally he decided on the light up elephant stick, then the lady asked him if he wanted blue or red!!! They only had the red one on display, so he looked frantically back and forth and decided blue at the last second! He loved it immediately. He spent most of the time on our laps so he could see everything. Kevin was most impressed with the motorcycles in the ball/cage thing. They had seven motorcycles in there! Lincoln clapped and cheered and had lots of fun!

It was a wonderful evening, and I'm so glad Linc liked the circus. I can't wait to take Beau next year too!
