The Greatest Show on Earth

As we walked to our first row seats, Jameson began to cry. Through the tears I learned that he was fearful the tigers might attack us. I assured him that they were "pets" similar to Mocha and the trainers would have excellent control of their pets so as not to worry. After he was reassured by sitting on my lap for the first act, he settled down into his own seat and quickly became enraptured by the horses, zebras, dogs, elephants and finally the tigers.


This very well could have been the best circus we've been to as a little family. At dinner prior to the show, we heard families talking about having to leave early because their little ones didn't keep their attention span. Wow. That's never been our case. I even had a difficult time getting Nate's attention during the high-wire act.

I had my Queasy Pops tucked in my purse but even those didn't get me through the smoke machine and animal smell. Aside from that, we had a fun Friday night. Thanks Bomp (Grandpa) Wade for the terrific seats!
