Circus!

We had a blast at the Circus in Greensboro. Cindy got us seats literally front row center! We could see everything perfectly and it felt like we could reach out and touch them. Before the show, the performers (animals included) came out and we were allowed to mingle and interact. The kids had a complete ball (and the adults, too)! Lily loved the "girl clown" from last year, so that was definitely a high point for her again this year. The circus knows what kids want, and the twirly, lighty toy was irresistible.

Clowns and snow...

So, after the circus, nothing would do except to go to school dressed as a 'girl-clown.'


She still asks 'where's the circus', now going on 2 months later.

Then in March, we visited Cindy's mom in the mountains.

Circus!

We recently went to the circus in Raleigh! It was a blast. The kids seemed to like the clowns the best, although the 'princesses' (female acrobats and dancers) were a big hit with Lily. Jack was initially very concerned that the tigers might get him, but he got over it. It's really hard not to laugh every time Lily says 'Look at the efalunts!' And you can see that she wasn't a big fan of the noise (it was very loud).
