The Greatest Show on Earth!


We took the kids to see the big Barnum and Bailey Circus. It is their 200th year, so an extra special show (and extra long!) When I told Tim we were going, he didn't realize until we left for it, that it was "THE" Barnum and Bailey circus. He thought it was just some little one down the street. He then got very excited!

Up high in our seats, but a good view of the whole circus and 3 rings. They had some preshow activities, but Kellan wasn't too interested, he was content just watching and eating his popcorn.


We asked the lady in front of us to snap a family photo. Henry was unsure of the whole circus thing, but was a good boy as long as we kept feeding him! ;)


Kellan would have loved the circus more, if there were just a few more animals. There were usual elephants, tigers and horses, but they don't show them for long. Primarily acrobats which doesn't hold a 3 1/2 year old attention for long. Tim and I loved it!!


Keeping Henry busy. Henry cried every time he saw an elephant, it was kind of funny. He would cling hard to us as soon as he saw them. Thankfully they didn't come out too many times!


The crazy motorcycle cage. One of Kellan's favorites. Elephants and the finale.

Another souvenir.

We had to drive home in tornado like conditions (found out later, that a tornado actually did touch down in Leesburg around the time we were driving home). This is a picture of a tree that just fell down in the middle of the road right before we got there. Mommy was a little freaked out!!! My babies were in the car!! :( Otherwise a very fun afternoon!
