Oh, What a Night!!

So, we started out our adventure picking up Chris from work and then headed to the Gateway to park and find a place to grub down.

We ended up going to the California Pizza Kitchen! It was really tasty!

Then we headed over to the circus. We were able to go take a look at the animals outside in their cages before the circus started.

Thanks to the man who offered to take a family shot by the elephants. LOL!

The boys were really excited to see the elephants.

They were even more excited to see the zebras and Tigers.

Before the circus starts they let everyone on the floor about an hour before to meet the clowns, performers, and get up close and personal with one of the elephants!

This is where the slinky lady was and the giant elephant pic!

The kids were introduced for the first time to the oh so sticky Cotton Candy!

They immediately fell in love after a lot of convincing that this cotton was okay to eat!

The lovely hats came with the Very Expensive cotton candy and the clown nose came with the very expensive program. Man the circus sure reams you! (as does any big event)

Confetti! It shot all over everywhere! By the time I found my camera it was mostly done falling. But, it was pretty neat!

I have to say though that I was completely amazed with the show!

It really is the best show on earth! It is quite the production! Very entertaining!

I am completely amazed at how they train the animals to do the things they do! Wow!

We had such a Fun night and the kids hung in there even though it was way past their bedtime!

Hooray for the circus!! I can't believe it took me almost 30 years to go! The pic above is of people being shot out of a cannon.

Chance was explaining his favorite parts of the circus!
