Barnum's Funundrum! 010910

On Wednesday after I got home from work my supervisor called me and asked if I wanted to go with her and take Tye to see the circus! I was so excited and said YES! I had been debating for quite awhile and really had wanted to go but didn't want to go without Kevin (since he had to work), but if someone else invited us I figured what the heck! Thanks Noami for inviting us!!!!!

Prior to the circus starting they had a "pre-show" and had the clowns a a couple of the animals out there and people could go on the floor and check it out. I didn't realize this and didn't really know what time the circus actually started and we were quite high up I didn't want to miss a part of the actual show just to see the pre-show with the huge crowd of people and we probably wouldn't be able to see anything anyway. Oh and also in the meantime Tye said he was hungry so I went and got a box of popcorn. We were oh so bad and ate most of it just the two of us! lol

Then the show started (oh and I apologize the pictures are kindof blurry, we were pretty far away and it was dark so I had to zoom as far as I could and then use the night snapshot, but the time the picture took the people had moved some so it turned the pictures blurry.) Tye thought it was way cool that the theme had to do with the circus train so it kept coming out and he could see the train.

The high wire act. Pretty cool! Especially for Tye since this past week at church on Tuesday night he was in the "nursery" and was the only kid there and the guy that was in charge had brough this large chain and hooked it on one side of the room and then a cabinet on the other and they used a broom stick and he helped Tye "tight rope walk" on this chain. So he did the same thing and thought that was cool that he saw real people doing it! lol

The steel cage with motorcycles in it. They started out with 4, then 5, then 7!!!!! Yep there were 7 motorcycles in that cage! He loved the motorcycles.

One of my favorite parts, the elephants. I love how these huge animals can do things like stand on a little platform......

Sit up on their backside...

And "stand" on each other!

Then they introduced the new baby elephant (well he is actually 1 year old, he was born on the "eve" of the President's inauguration. So his name is "Barak"). He was soooooooo cute! And I thought it was super cute when he came out the baby elephant's mom held his tail! Sooooo sweet!

Then they had this act that did all these tricks on the trampolene. Very cool!

Enjoying the cool things going on in the show!

A video of Tye jammin' out to the music of the finale. I was so sad because I shut off the video right before he stuck his hands up in the air and yelled "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" Sorry it is so dark again, but I think you can see it fairly well.

Again, thank you Noami for inviting us to go with you. We had a blast and as we were leaving Tye said, "That was so AWESOME!!!" He could not wait to get home and tell Daddy all about it. Unfortunately he had to wait until the next day. But he was so excited to tell Daddy all about everything he saw!
