the greatest show on earth

o and i had the chance to go to the circus when it came through town with a group of her friends. we had so much fun with her friends from ballet and some of my mpe teacher friends and their kids. olivia was asking lots of questions about what we would see at the circus before we went and i kept telling her animals and clowns. i totally forgot about the tightrope walkers, the trapeze, human cannonballs, and other crazy stunts. she loved it all, but her favorite parts where the animals. this is probably because that is what i had built up. she would squeal, point, and announce each time they came out into one of the 3 rings. we saw horses, zebras, dogs, elephants, and tigers. they all could do AMAZING tricks.




if you ask olivia what her favorite part of the circus was, she would say, "i like the clown on the little tiny bike and the big boom (firework) that came out of it." she thought this was hilarious! of course this was in the "pre-show" so i guess the actual "greatest show on earth" was a little disappointing for her. oh well, we had so much fun! thanks heather for coordinating the event!

o loved sitting in her own seat and clapping for all the performers.
