The Greatest Show on Earth

The circus has been in town a few times since little R was born but he hasn't been old enough to warrant taking him - until now! I was so excited about taking him to the circus and couldn't wait to see how he would react to all the action.

We got there about 30 minutes before it started so we could go down to the floor and check out some of the performers and animals before the show. We arrived just in time to see Asia the elephant - Ryan was a huge fan!

 

Wondering where that elephant went off to....

He wasn't quite sure what to think of the clown

We did a little more walking around - found the souvenir area and picked out a little baby elephant.

Little man loved the circus. He sat so quietly and was glued to the stage....he loved everything about the first act. 

During intermission we walked around a little bit and grabbed some food. When we got back to our seats Ryan was kinda over the whole thing. He wouldn't really sit still and wasn't really interested anymore. I knew the elephant act was coming and that he would love it so we battled through...and of course when those elephants took stage he was hooked! 

The elephants were my favorite part too!

Ta-Da!

After the elephants we high-tailed it outta there. I don't think we missed much so it wasn't a big deal. Ryan had a great time and is now obsessed with elephants. He brings his little baby elephant everywhere and loves to sleep with it too. Can't wait to bring him back next year!
