I am a believer! Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus truly IS the greatest show on Earth!
I know this may be hard to believe but despite the fact that I am dangerously close to leaving my 20's and entering unknown territory, I have NEVER been to the circus but yet here Merrin is at 22 months old experiencing her first circus experience! Keith's work had tickets for this past weekend's show and although I doubt I would have paid for tickets considering Merrin's age, we would have REALLY missed out had we not gone! Merrin absolutely LOVED it! We told her before her nap on Saturday that when she woke up we would go see some "animals" at the circus and I think we even threw in a "lions, tigers & bears, oh my"! So...when Merrin woke up from her nap all she could talk about was ANIMALS! She asked for them the whole way on the car ride there. When we got there she was in awe of all that was around her and contently sat on Keith's lap watching with this little face full of wonder. Once she had been there a little while she started yelling when the crowd yelled and clapping with everyone else clapped, it was so cute. I am glad that Merrin enjoyed herself. She also experienced her very first taste of popcorn and couldn't get enough of it! She kept asking for the "animals" yesterday so we told her that we would have to go see them again next year. I highly recommend going if you've never been. It was truly amazing seeing the elephants and all they could do as well as the acrobats and the frisbee catching dogs!

That sounds like so much fun! I still remember going to the circus as a child.
I absolutely LOVE the circus! I seriously considered taking Nolan, but realized at 18 months he might not get the full effect. But we are definitely going next year! So glad Merrin had a great time. We still need to get them together sometime :)
