On Labor Day my Aunt Cher mentioned that she wanted to take the boys and me to the circus! What a kind gesture!! As soon as Joshua caught wind of this, he was excited! My aunt ended up getting us seats in the box of the company my uncle works for which was truly a good thing when it came to the 2 year old and his attention span. After we had dinner downtown and got to the arena to find the box we were in that night we went down on the arena floor to take part in the circus pre-show. The boys got tattoos, saw clowns and acrobats perform and even got to see one of the elephants up close! Then it was back to our seats so the show could begin. Joshua did very well, attentively watching every act and performer until about 3/4 of the way through the show when he was tired from a long week of school and just wanted the circus to be done. Matthew did really well sitting for the first hour, but after the intermission he had ants in his pants and couldn't seem to sit in his seat for more than a couple minutes at a time so it was a wonderful that he could walk around in the box and get out a few toys to play with. Overall we were impressed with the show, had a great time together and are very grateful to Aunt Cher for bringing us!!

Anxious for the circus to begin!
The tigers were cool to watch!
This was the boys' favorite part of the circus...mini motorcycles all racing around inside this metal ball.
If I remember correctly the final count was 7 motorcycles in there at one time...CRAZY!

The boys' other favorite performance was the elephants!
The end of the parade!
Thank you Aunt Cher for a very special night together!
