The Greatest Show on Earth

Julie and I went to the circus with Maddi, Andrew and Lisa. For parking purposes we took the train. Maddi and Andrew were really excited. Once we got on the train, Maddi saw part of the temple and very loudly commented, Mom, a castle! Everyone got a kick out of it. We were a little worried about where our seats were, but luckily we were in the lower bowl so Maddi and Andrew could see everything that was going on.


Waiting for the train


When Andrew was told to go get his shoes on, his Mom didn't say what color or which foot. He didn't seem to mind.


The excitement was mounting


The opening parade

Once the music and parade started, it was pretty loud. This is how Maddi and Andrew sat through the whole first half.





The Chinese acrobats


Maddi kept telling me to take a picture of the tight-rope walkers.




The guy is jumping through the ring of fire. Scary.








After intermission, Maddi and Andrew got use to the noise and here is Andrew enjoying the show while he eats popcorn.


Maddi kept telling me to take a picture of everything. Finally she decided that she should take the pictures. Besides a lot of black pictures and pictures of the back of the people's heads in front of us, when I finally got my camera back, this is what I got.















The train ride home. I think Maddi and Andrew really had a great time. It was fun to see their reaction to everything.

Hey Cher,
Wow,it has been a long time. Well lets see...I met my hubby at walmart where we both work. Didn't you know you can get anything at walmart. We have been married 12 in Dec. We adopted our son in '02.
