The Greatest Show on Earth!

It's becoming an annual tradition that we take our kids to the circus on opening night.  We go early because before the show starts, you can walk on the floor of the circus and do things like sit on the motorcycle.
During the pre-show show, a bunch of performers from China came out to do a tai-chi performance.  We weren't very impressed because they were not synchronized very well.

This year, we brought Gabey along.  The girls started going to the circus at age two so we decided to try it.  He is a little weirded out by loud noises, so we weren't sure if one of us was going to spend the entire show in the lobby of the arena with a scared 2 year-old.

He was a little apprehensive at first but by the 2nd half was enjoying the show.

One of the biggest highlights for the girls is getting cotton candy.  We tell them that we only get one bag (due to the exorbitant price) and that we all have to share.  They dive in like sharks...

Gabriel also knows about cotton candy...

The show was fine.  We saw the elephants, as always...

There were also the acrobats who stand on a launcher and land on their compadre's shoulders--somehow.
The kids had fun and we'll be back next year!
