We started our evening at the circus with the elephants. They are truly amazing animals....
And, then not thinking, I agreed to ride one with Miss Emma.
Once we were aboard the elephant, the show, "Animals Gone Wild" went through my head. It was a bumpy ride...all I remember is telling Emma to hold on and with both hands!
They are so sweet...
And Miss Emma definitely enjoyed the show.
I had no idea that the circus lasted *three* hours, so we were in for a bit of a surprise.
There were tigers jumping through rings of fire...
Miss Emma loves tigers.
And, there were bears on bikes...
Bears on balls...
And bears on motorcycles...
Miss Emma gave her "emma look" to all of the above. Even Rob and I were impressed.
There was some cirque du soleil-like stuff too. Is it just us or does the circus have a major creep factor to y'all too? I always leave wondering all sorts of things....
You should have seen Miss Emma's face...
She just couldn't believe her eyes.
To make the night even more special, our tickets were Christmas gifts from our sweet neighbors. What a wonderful gift for a family! Lots of fun and loads of memories for all of us! I had Miss Emma draw what she remembered from the circus, and then we wrote her very first thank you note together. I told her which letters to write, and she did the rest!
