Friday, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to town. Brad and I took the kiddos and we had a great time! I hadn't been to the circus since I was a kid and Brad went as a kid, but doesn't remember the show. I think we were more excited than Parker to get to go - hah! We actually went as an outing/field trip with my work with our students and we got to go for $6 a ticket! The regular price for a ticket was $25-$130, so you can't beat going to the circus for $18 total!
Hannah had her elephant shirt on and she was ready!
Brad and Parker ran around outside the arena to burn off some steam before going into the show, while I was helping distribute tickets to our students.
Miss Hannah helped me distribute tickets to my students. We couldn't take the car seat in, so I had to wake her up and put her in the sling. She sure was a trooper!
Once inside, we fed Hannah, then she slept through most of the first part of the show. Of course, Parker had to have a snack too, since Hannah was eating. He's a smart little cookie because he knows his snack cup and he knows exactly where it's at in my bag - hah!
Parker was anxiously awaiting the start of the show!
Hannah was looking around for the elephants, but I told her they were in the second half of the show, so she decided she would snooze until they came out - hah!
The opening of the show - this elephant came out and walked around the arena while we stood and sang the National Anthem.
Here comes the circus performers!
The elephants - we loved the elephants! You'll be seeing a lot of elephant pics - they were our favorite part!
The horses were pretty cool too!
I took Parker's picture by this elephant because it was $75 and we just needed a memory of a souvenir - hah!
The tigers were awesome!
Parker fell asleep for about 10 minutes during the show!
The elephants again - I could have watched them all day!
The elephant trainer closing out the elephant show - it was awesome! We had a great time and I am so glad Brad and I were able to make great memories with Parker and Hannah at their first trip to the circus!
