The Greatest Show on Earth

We took Kara to see the Ringling Bros circus a couple weekends ago. They had been as close as Kansas City in September, but I was working the nights the show was on, since they had it during the week. So when I found out they were also going to be in Tulsa I snapped up some tickets to take her. It was also Blaine's first "big" circus, so it was a unique experience for the both of them. I was somewhat scared that Kara might be afraid of the clowns and the big crowd, but she really seemed to love it! We got there early enough to participate in the pre-show, where we were able to go down onto the floor and meet with performers. Kara even got to watch an elephant paint! I think the elephants and tigers were her absolute favorite part of the show. She was telling everyone about them and the noises they make. I've signed up for e-mail alerts from the circus now, so the next time they come somewhere close we can make a big trip of it. I would love for my nephews to get the chance to see the Greatest Show on Earth too!

For some reason today my pictures posted backwards to the blog, but I guess you can figure out that the last was the first taken, right?
