May all your days be Circus days

This weekend John and I survived our first (of many, we hope) trips to the circus with Soli an Tiz.

We went to the Shrine circus in Green Bay at the Memorial Veterans center which is right across from Lambeau Field.

The arena is small so we weren't bombarded by tons of people.

The girls were free since each child was free when an adult ticket was purchased.

There was ample seating in the general admission area and we found perfect seats in the front row which gave us lots of leg room and even space for the girls to stand up and check things out.  We were also right in the center.

Before the circus started we were able to walk all around the floor and check things out.

Tiz and I decided to ride an elephant.

We both thought it was an awesome experience if not a bit smelly.

What circus experience is complete without cotton candy.

Tiz was really enjoying her pink spun sugar.

Even Soli enjoyed cotton candy once she was brave enough to actually put it into her mouth.

Soli sat so well for the entire circus.  I think there is so much to look at and listen to, that she was in a bit of a trance.

This is just to document that John was indeed with us.

Here are the girls waiting patiently for the circus to begin.

 As soon as Tiz saw the snow cones in the lighted cups, she just had to have one of those, too.

 When Tiz had gotten all the juice out of the snow cone, Soli was more than happy to suck on the straw.

 The circus had great performances and lots of colorful costumes.

 We all agreed that the elephants were great.  Of course, Tiz liked the pooping elephant the best.

We were all very tense when it came time for the human cannonball.

We were worried that he might hit the ceiling or miss the net, but all went off without a hitch and he landed safely in the net.

Today as we were leaving Oshkosh, Tiz said to me, "This has been the bsst time, I will remember the human cannonball forever."
