The Greatest Show on Earth

To start off our summer vacation, we decided to take the girls to the circus! They came in town for the weekend and it was the best $5 (per ticket) we ever spent!! The girls had an absolute BLAST and even though it wasn't the "Ringling Brothers" it had 3-rings, and it was pretty cool. They had everything a circus should have. They had face painting, cotton candy, jugglers, trapeze, fire/sword eaters, rope climbers, chair stackers, tigers, bears, and most importantly...ELEPHANTS! We HAD to get the girls cotton candy! We let them pick what color they wanted and all 3 chose blue....personally I like yellow :)



One thing that I splurged on (that Chad didn't want me to do) is for the girls to ride the elephant. I still remember riding the elephant at the circus when I was their age, so when rides were offered there was no hesitation! Chad stayed in the stands to save our seats and I took the girls to get in line. It was so great!! They LOVED it!

Regan was put on the next elephant. She was nothing but smiles!!

Tigers!!

Mollie LOVED the trapeze! She now wants to be a trapeze artist when she grows up :)

The elephants performing...it was awesome!






It was such a fun night!! Each girl had a favorite part: Carli- chair stacker, Regan- Bears (so funny! She was laughing hysterically the ENTIRE time the bears were performing), Mollie- Trapeze. So glad we went...we might even go again (even though Chad probably doesn't want to!) It was definately the "Greatest Show on Earth"
