Entertaining Your Kids - Summer Series - The Greatest Show On Earth Part II



When asked if my family would like to go to the Circus, we adjusted our clown noses and "stepped right up". As I shared before (read more) I haven't been to a Ringling Brothers Circus since I was nine, now that Nick is nine the timimng couldn't be more perfect. Our day started early as we watched the elephants eat breakfast and have a bath a "Pachyderm Scrub Down", if you will. We met and chated with Libby Morris, senior animal specialist. Libby, mother of 2, spends so much time with her "other kids, the elephants" they have become a part of her family. Thanks Libby for spending time with us!!! And thanks Jennifer for giving my son memories he can share with his children. This was a very special day!


That is Nick feeding the elephants!!!


They were so gentle and playful.



After feeding the elephants, they were best friends with Nick!




The show was fantastic....






Yes, even HappyHourMom had to get into the act

So.... any other circus people out there?

Share your memories of the circus with us. I want to hear about it, and if you've never been....what are you waiting for???

I was so excited to be able to take my kids the circus and my daughter cried she was so scared. She's four so maybe next year? It's funny how kids can have such different reactions.
