Circus Time!

 As I stated earlier, tonight we headed to the circus! Kate was super excited, even though I doubt she understood what she was getting herself into! Here we are on our way to the car teaching Kate how to give thumbs up.

 Waiting to get inside the circus, Kate gives her thumbs up--Dad stood her up! Kate really enjoyed herself. I think the only thing she wasn't 100% sure about was the really loud noises. Sometimes when the crowd would cheer she would jump. But not enough to cry or want to leave.

 Hanging out at the pre-show, just clowning around. We were just a minute too late to go back stage and see all the animals before the show. I was bummed, I think that would have been Kate's favorite part!

 Dad is always being a clown...that's part of why we love him so much!

 Because all clowns need to stick their tongue out....

 During the pre-show Kate got her first glimpse of an Elephant (aside from the zoo). She literally was screaming with excitement. It was pretty much the best parts of the entire show. She would keep asking when the elephants would come back out!

 Tasting her first cotton candy. She seemed to like it the first taste, but when it started to stick to her fingers she was done. After that she just kept feeding bites to Jon and I. Silly girl.

And her goofy hat that came with her cotton candy (it's good it came with something, the cotton candy was $12...Jon almost fell over). So once the show started Kate was really into it! She got a little restless toward intermission, but after running with daddy for a few minutes she was ready to go for the next half. She seriously had a blast! By far her favorite acts were the animals, more importantly the elephants. There were 3 elephants that came out 2 times and did tricks. Kate squealed like I have never heard her before. It was pretty stinking funny! And during the second act Kate danced along to any music that was playing. She really got into it! It was so fun to get to experience that with her! Thanks so much to our sweet friends for giving us tickets! The whole way home Kate kept saying "fun with mommy daddy at circus!"
