The circus.

Some good friends of ours got us tickets to this little circus in town last week, and it was the perfect sized circus for Brooke's first wild animal experience! She has always LOVED elephants, but I knew in her mind she truly didn't realize how large they were.....so seeing them up close was quite an experience. She watched every single act, sat in my lap for all of them since she was higher up. We had ring side seats too, so the wild animals and acts were VERY close to us. She climbed in my arms as much as she could when the elephants came out to perform their act, she whispered in my ear "Momma, I scared" then once they started their show she said "I not scared anymore" and watched in awe. You will have to excuse some of the darker shots. It's hard to take pictures in a dim tent with bright spot lights, but you will get the picture....also Thanks Angie for the pics!

Brooke and Aiden discovering the elephants.

Tim (the smart little stinker that won the tickets and Aiden's cousin), Brooke and Aiden with the Clydesdale horses.

Just playing, waiting for it to start.

Even though I figured Brooke's favorite part would be the elephants, every time you ask her she will tell you the Tigers were her favorite part.

Brooke's seat for the show.

Fascinated with the huge horses, she had to get a closer look.

Angie, as always refused to be in the shots.....so here we are, the rest of the gang: Brandi (Angie's sister), Aiden, Tim, Brooke and myself.

And again....can you tell Brooke LOVED the popcorn?! She would not let go of the box!
