Well, as usual, I am just a little behind on blogging this but who's keeping track? So about a month ago I took Cody to the Circus for one of our mommy/son dates. I have not been to the Circus since I was a kid. I remembered it was exciting and magical and could not wait to take my kids someday. I bought my tickets online. Love that by the way. I surprised Cody that morning with my plan of going downtown for the Greatest Show on Earth! I took him to the pre-show where you can meet all the clowns and try on costumes, stuff like that. Next we walked around the venue and checked out all the Circus garb they sell and somehow found myself buying him a $10.00 slushy! I was clearly not in the right state of mind. We found our seats which were not bad but not great. We sat in the lower section on the far end. At 2pm the lights dimmed and the Ringmaster started the show. Cody was so excited. I loved seeing his reaction to each new event. I on the other hand was not so impressed. Things have changed a bit since I was a kid. So many things are fake now. Or maybe it was always fake and I can just tell the difference now. :) I did love the super, crazy bendy girls. So amazing what they can do with their bodies. Cody was most excited by the guys who ride motor cycles inside a cage. He told me we had to get video of this cause Dad would love it! In conclusion, it was so much fun to spend time alone with him and do something I knew he would love. I did tell Matt when I got home that next time around he is taking the kids to the circus. I had my fill for quite some time. :)

My handsome blue eyed boy.

Getting sweet tats.

These guys on stilts were awesome. They got skills.

Costumes! Just the jacket alone was incredibly heavy.

Cody's favorite clown.

the beloved slushy

Love my boy!

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Sorry, horrible pic, but this is the motor cycles guys.

I do enjoy the Elephants. So cute!

Another bad pic but this guy rides his motorcycle on a tight rope with this chick sitting on a swing.

Trampoline people. It looks so fun I wanted to go jump!

And this concludes our fun day at the circus.
