The Circus

The day after Christmas we had tickets to the local circus.  We got there a little late (apparently the show started at 1 not 2)  but still had a great time.

When we got there the clowns and trapeze artists had just come on.  Mara was pretty enthralled.  She got even more into it once the animals came out.  We saw horses, dogs, penguins and seals.

The only disappointment was there wasn't any elephants.  I mistakingly told Mara that the circus has elephants and she kept asking for them the entire time.  No elephants.  Mom lesson learned, "manage expectations".

Overall it was really nice and I think it is a trip we'd repeat in the future.
