Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!

Yes that's right folks we went to the circus. The Shrine Circus was in town last weekend and my Dad and Mary got tickets for us all. Lauren decided to not take a nap that day so I wasn't sure how the afternoon would go. She had a blast despite being tired. The circus started and she was hooked. She loved the tigers jumping around on pedistals. The dogs were probably her favorite act. They were amazing climbing ladders and walking on wires. She also liked the elephants, but not enough to ride one once she got close. She loved the ladies spinning on ropes because she thought they were butterflies. She even said "be careful butterfly". We left at intermission since she was so tired, but we had been there for about 2 hours. We went to eat at the Germantown Commissary. Which was wonderful!! We had a great time and Lauren got to see her first circus.
