The Greatest Show On Earth

This past weekend we took Gavin to the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus and he LOVED it. We got there early to see some animals and clowns and etc which was quite overwhelming but the real hit for him was when the show started. This kid couldn't take his eyes off of all the lights and action. He was completely enthralled. I wondered if he'd get antsy for a two hour show but not a chance. He took turns on Grandpa's, Daddy's and Uncle Chad's laps and loved every minute. He waved to the animals and the people, exclaimed WOW when something happened and of course partook in lots of circus treats. It was a super fun outing and he enjoyed every minute of it. Checking out the preshow from the best vantage point.
Creepy clown.
A show favorite--the elephant.
Watching with amazement.
That's a whole loaf of bread people.
Sitting with Uncle Chad and Auntie Lorien.
Daddy and Uncle Chad got roped into the action--they are getting their instructions: "have fun, but this is a live show, things do go wrong."
Their participation? Musical Chairs.
So enthralled and clapping along with the rest of the audience.
More fun.
Pic is blurry...but priceless.
Gavin & Harry were laughing it up together.
Like I said...a favorite.
It is "The Greatest Show on Earth"
CONFETTI!!
Loves his wizard hat.
