The Circus Comes To Town!

Upon hearing that The Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus was in Aiken (just a half hour from Augusta), we decided that since Alli loved it so much last year, we had to go! This past Sunday, we took Alli to the circus with our friends the Greers: Emily, Stephen, and Maddox, who is essentially the closest thing Alli has to a brother. He is exactly 1month and 1 day from being 1 year younger than Alli. We had a blast! Granted, there were not many animals to see ~ just horses and dogs, because the elephant would not fit into the building ~ but the kids didn't care. They loved the clowns, lights, and acts going on in the ring. Alli even had cotton candy for the first time. She liked it at first, then after about a second, she said "Mommy, where did it go?" Of course, it had dissolved in her mouth. :) Needless to say, we had some sleepy toddlers by the time we left!
