Our Runaway Adventure to the Circus...


We had been counting down the days until the circus would finally arrive. When the day finally arrived, we enjoyed some necessary animal crackers in preparation for the night show (disappointed that they don't seem to have the traditional crackers in the boxes). Ben had a great time at the circus! When we arrived, he said, "Circus tent!!"
When we walked up to the tent, Ben spotted the elephants outside. He was fascinated! Then, we walked into the tent!!
Then, Ben got to take his first pony ride! He had so much fun :)
Seating was tight, Ben thought it was funny to keep poking the guy in front of us. When we kept asking him to stop, he leaned over to hug him.
Ben enjoyed watching the tigers and the silly clowns!
Close encounters of the weird kind...
Ben said goodbye to the circus and enjoyed all his souvenirs..

Circus Parade

The circus is here...and I have never been so excited! Ben is obsessed with anything circus- thanks to Yo Gabba Gabba. We've had that episode on our DVR for quite some time and a few weeks ago it was tragically deleted without our knowledge (ALWAYS set to save until manually erased) . Ben will "march" around and ask for the "circus parade" or the "happy clown" and we have been unable to deliver...until now! For weeks, Chris and I have been counting down the days until we get to take Ben to his first ever visit! Ben has now been saying "real circus." Let's see what this 21 month old actually thinks about the circus. Hope he's not too disappointed when Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Tuti, Plex, and DJ Lance aren't there. Oh, and who could forget Weird Al?! I managed to find a few clips from the episode that Ben loves so dearly.
