Circus

Nancy and O joined us for an afternoon at the circus under the big top! The kids both got their faces painted before the show and throroughly the entire experience. We had great seats in the second row and got a great view of all the acts. Ryan sat through the entire show with his eyes wide open just mesmerized by what he was watching. The first act was the Moto Thunderdome, where 1, 2 and 3 motorcycles ride in a metal globe thing. Becca had the strangest look on her face a few minutes into the act, and I asked her what she thought. She said with a puzzled look on her face, "Mommy. That is very very dangerous." She had the same reaction for the acrobats, the trapeze artists, and other performers. She just didn't understand why anyone would do something so dangerous. Still, she enjoyed it very much. The elephant act was probably her favorite. (Ryan's was the motorcycles.)
