The Circus

Papa loves the Circus.  

And for his birthday this year, he wanted to take Caroline to see the show for the first time.  

It was precious and I am not sure who loved it more.  

We talked with Caroline the days leading up to the show to tell her all she would see.  

But, I am afraid there was no way we could accurately prepare her for all the lights, animals, clowns, music, and dancing she would see.  Talk about being over-stimulated. 

She was glued to her chair for the better part of 2 hours.  Didn't even think to take off her jacket and never once asked for a snow cone, cotton candy, or any of the other junk they sell.  

She was in total awe.  The animals were for sure her favorites.  In fact, I do not even have pictures of the animals because I was watching Caroline's face as she saw them.  

Although she looks frightened, this was her mesmerized look all night!

When I asked her what was the best thing of the night, she said "The elephant went poopie!" 

And that it did.  Directly in front of us.  

What a special memory.  Happy birthday Papa!
