February 21st our family joined the Stephenson's (Geoff, Kristi, & Alec) to go see the circus! Alec is Luke's best buddy that he met at his preschool. Ringling Brother's was in town and we were hoping Luke would enjoy it (and not be scared as is his usual M.O. around large real or pretend animals).
We made the outing even more fun for the boys by riding MARTA down to the arena.
Clowns sure have become less scary as I have gotten older, and not because of age, because they no longer wear ridiculously oversized clothes and shoes or shoot water out of a flower at unsuspecting children. Just look at this friendly clown with Kristi and Alec. Ok so Alec looks a little frightened and Luke wouldn't get close enough for a picture, but I thought the clown was nice, especially when he later fixed Kristi's hair when Alec was on her shoulders :)
Luke on my shoulders
Pictures of Luke and Alec enjoying the show, sharing popcorn, clapping, and dancing!
Some of what we saw (most of my pictures were blurry)
Elephants!
The high wire act
Cannons, which really did shoot out two women
Tigers!
This act was our favorite, these guys spun around on these circles as the whole thing moved around and around. They jumped up and down it as well.
By the end of the show the boys had climbed on Geoff and Kristi's laps
The grand finale!
Thanks Stephenson's! We had a great time.
