Tigers, Elephants, and Goats oh my

On Saturday morning, Emily and I headed to Stax to meet Daddy, Mason, and Sydney prior to going to the circus. When we arrived, we were just in time to order with the group. Emily and I jsut had a snack since we had breakfast earlier. Around 10, we all packed up in Daddy's car and headed downtown to see the circus. We parked in the garage and walked to the front of the Bi-lo center to pick up our tickets at will call. As were were on the way in, security let me know that I was not able to take in the camers =( So no circus pictures for us. The kids were really excited so walked down to the center ring to check everything out. About the time they were asking us to return to our seats, Emily got to give a clown a hug. She thought that was really neat. As a special treat, Daddy gave each of the kids money to pick out the suveneer of their choice. Emily immediatly found a light up princess wand and was sold. Then it was time for the show. We had a great spot on the bottom floor. At first, Emily was a little spooked by all the noise and lights, but she quickly got into the show. For most of the first half she sat in my lap eating her popcorn and dancing back and forth. Towards the end she wanted to sit with Mason. Emily was amazed when the elephants started coming out and then the trick riders. There were many spectacular performances between the animals, acrobatics, singing, dancing, and the clowns. All of the kids seemed to throughly enjoy themsleves. After it was over, we went by Chick-fil-a for a snack, before heading home.
