Last night we took Madalyn to the circus. The circus was in Augusta, GA. Neither Kevin nor myself had been to the circus since we were little, so it was a treat for us as well. Kevin was the one who saw that the circus was here and it had on the news that if you got to the circus an hour before the show, you could go back stage and see the animals and meet the performers. I really didn't know how Madalyn would do, as far as sitting still and behaving herself. She did really well over all. She only hit the lady in front of her 3 times. (She accidentally kicked her one time changing from my lab to Kevin's lab and twice she hit her with her hand. And once she almost got a hold of the lady's ponytail, but I grabbed her hand before she could pull it.) Right before intermission she started to get a little restless, but she was getting hungry and tired, so Kevin took her to get something to drink and eat. Over all, we all 3 enjoyed it. And amazing, she stayed awake all the way home and we had an hour drive. So she didn't get in bed until 10:30 and was up at 7:30 this morning, ready to go to church.
Madalyn loves elephants. She has only been to the zoo once and that was when she was 13 months old. So this was the first time she has seen an elephant close up in a long time. When she saw it she was like "whoa!" She didn't want to leave this area. During the show when the elephants went back through the curtain, she wanted to go with them. She just stared and stared at the elephant and was so excited to see it
Madalyn had an elephant on her shirt and when she realized that it was an elephant on her shirt and one in front of her, she got really excited making that connection.
We had really great seats. We were close to everything and we were right in front.
Let the show begin!
Time for the Elephants! The elephants were the best act of the show according to Madalyn.
It was a fun night for all!
