The Greatest Show on Earth

For weeks we had been looking forward to going to see Barnum and Bailey's circus while it was in town. Hannah was so excited we were
surprised she actually took a nap before we went,
but she did. The show was over two hours long,
but Hannah watched
the whole entire thing. She loved getting popcorn and lemonade, and claims that her favorite part of the show were the clowns, although I thought that considering we were at the circus, we didn't see too much of the clowns. I was impressed with the trapeze men and women, and Justin
liked the elephants the best. We brought Noah, who was dazzled by the
lights and music for about 20 minutes, then got pretty bored. We kept him occupied for awhile, then Justin was able to get him to sleep in his lap. On the way out Hannah wanted a coloring book, so we got her one as we ran through the rain to get back to the car.

The circus is pretty much the same as I remember from when I was little, but I will say we were surprised by the prices! The tickets weren't terrible, but when I went to get Hannah her popcorn and lemonade, I was shocked that is cost $16! It was pretty tasty stuff, but geez!
