The Circus! The Circus! I love the Circus!

When was the last time you went to the circus? Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus has come to town today. They pulled up to the Gateway Center with their mile long train and Erin, Krystal and I met them there for the Elephant Parade! Kendall is working at the Gateway doing electrician stuff and they had to shut down all work for an hour so they wouldn't startle the animals. We found the perfect spot under the overpass and enjoyed some shade, some ring pops, and a short miniature version of the circus. The best part about it was that it was free!!!

Who knew police men could have a sense of humor???The elephants were very large and amazing. It was so cute how they held the tail of the elephant in front of them with their trunks! We were very close and as mothers we had everything gathered together, just in case! In case of what, I don't know ~ but Kendall did comment about our choice of sitting next to these nice strong columns, if the elephants decided to stampede or charge, they should provide enough protection to hide behind...

Afterwards we met at McDonald's for some food and fun:
Even though it only lasted ten minutes & Chloe threw up on the way there, the kids thought that we took them to the circus and we can now mark that off the list!
