The Circus

It's really hard to believe that 8 years ago Wes and I went on our first date....to the circus! Wes was in town playing in an Ultimate Frisbee tournament and called me up to see if I would like to do something. After exploring our options we both settled on going to see the circus. We didn't have tickets but were able to walk right up to the box office and get tickets. It is a great date place. It's so loud that you can talk though the whole performance, not like a movie. The corny thing that we always mention is that we shared a snow cone in a souvenir clown cup (which I still have). So all that to say, the Circus was in town and at the last minute we decided to go and take Rachel. After all the weather has been icy, I'm sure no one will be there....haha. Well most of Charlotte showed up for the circus. We paid $40.00 to sit above the tight rope :) Cotton Candy (MY FAVORITE) was being sold with a circus souvenir hat this year and cost $12.00. I did not eat cotton candy, which my tongue hated but my hips appreciated. We got to our seats and watched the circus, Rachel did great and really enjoyed it. However, we had really talked to her about seeing the elephants. So once the elephants came and danced for maybe 10 minutes, Rachel had seen enough and was ready to go. We left about 10 minutes early which helped us to beat the crowd. It was funny to think 8 years earlier I was on my first date with my husband and now we had just taken our little Rachel to see her first circus. Fun times!
