The one where we go to the Circus

We took the girls to the circus this week.

Teresa was pretty excited, as you can see above. It was just a small circus, but the girls had a really great time. T really was excited by the elephants, despite what her face would indicate below, she loved that they were just like the ones on her circus shirt:

Both girls were absolutely enthralled by the circus acts, Teresa kept begging to get down in the ring and dance. She loved, loved the acrobatics and gymnastic-y ones, and kept asking to "go do that, too".

We went out to see the zebras and other animals during intermission, but Teresa was only interested in "doing some tricks" like she had just seen. She kept climbing on the fence and trying to show us some tricks.

Nora loved the animals.

Teresa had been envious of all the cotton candy around us during the first half, so we let her get some during intermission. You'll be shocked to hear that she and Nora both loved it.

I was there too...

I had to include this picture because I just love Nora's face so. much. in it. She's awesome.

This was the best picture I could get of the ring, it really was quite a small circus, we had gotten a Groupon that included all of our tickets, plus free pizza. We definitely would not have gone otherwise, they were charging an arm and a leg for regular tickets.

Teresa had a complete breakdown about 20 minutes before it was over, so we left a few minutes early. She'd had a pretty long day before the circus, and she was so tired that on the way home she refused the offer to get some ice cream and said she just wanted to go home and have some juice. Then she immediately fell asleep for the rest of the car ride. I was worried all the drama at the end ruined the whole thing for her, but when we got home she said it was really fun and has been talking about it for the rest of the week.
