Circus

I scored some free tickets to the circus so we decided to take the girls and make a morning of it. Michael's niece Hannah and nephew Andrew tagged along with us since they were in town for the weekend. Addison had the same look on her face as she did for Dora. She didn't say much the entire time, but instead took it all in. She did cry a little when I got her too close to a clown.

Morgan was great and it was nice to have some extra hands to help hold her. Andrew volunteered first.
Addison enjoying some of the extra salty popcorn. And for the record Hannah did her hair like that. I'm a little jealous. She sat there and didn't make a peep. If it were me doing it I'd have to chase her around the house. Scratch that. She would never let me do it.
The elephant ride was a little pricey, but well worth it. Addison had a smile from ear to ear the entire time.


I had been talking to Addison about the circus for a week or so leading up to it just so she would have an idea of what to expect. I would tell her some of the things we would see and she was convinced that we were going to see a kitty cat. Like, super-excited-jump-up-and-down, convinced. I always told her that we would look for one. I couldn't break her heart and tell her that there wouldn't be one there.

So....I almost died when they pulled out this cat during the dog routine. I was rushing to get my camera out so all I have is this crappy picture. Nonetheless, a cat at the circus. Seriously? Who would have thought.
I love being able to get out and take Addison to see new things. And I love the way she will randomly talk about it still today. So fun.
