Lions, Tigers and Bears...

Oh my! I wish I could have captured the look on Ava's face as the aerial silk dancers glided through the rafters of the circus tent. Her eyes sparkled with excitement watching the dancing elephants, and acrobatic dogs. It was pure magic to a little girls heart.

This being her first circus experience, we spared no expense. There was mile high cotton candy, all the pizza you could eat, ballon animals and even an elephant ride...which lasted a whole 2 minutes.

Attention Fellow Parents: If you're planning a trip to the circus with your children, take my advice and bring your own elephant. It's cheaper than paying for the rides there.

Rachel wasn't able to come with us this time. It was really special for Ava to have Mum all to herself and enjoy the circus for the first time with her friends and Patty.
