Shrine Circus

So we took Makayla to her very first circus and she was quite in aw despite Mommy's circus shows she puts on, on a daily basis. You know like when you hear a good rock song and you bust out into air guitar singing and dancing and thrashing your head around. Or times where I roam around the room on all fours roaring like the tiger I am and chasing the kids or giving them horsey back rides, good times. Oh right back to the actual circus. So that morning when we woke up all day I prepped her saying we are going to the circus that night. She was so excited cheering "yay circus" all day, even though she had no clue what I was talking about. But hey, mommy is excited so I will be too! So I pack the kids in the car mid day to do a quick grocery run and of course Makayla is saying "yay circus!" all the way there. Then when she realizes we are JUST going shopping at Walmart, she breaks out in tears and says "circus mommy". Oh dear. She does not yet understand the term "later" after that day I think she did. So, finally the time comes where mommy and daddy are just taking Makayla on a circus date. She is thrilled and gets in the car and was fast asleep in seconds. As some of you know, my daughter has now opted out of her naps...yup the sad time has come where she NEVER naps anymore, although she needs one, she refuses.

So we get there, wake her up and she is still excited the moment she wakes and we run the 100 meter dash to the doors in the pouring rain. According to daddy we must buy her a light up souvenir even though they are outrageously over priced at $10 each when I am sure you can get the same thing at the dollar store. We get our seats and grab some cotton candy, you know for Makayla, of course not for Justin and I, my God we HATE sweets...yeah...I hate sweets...pff okay. Makaylas eyes lit up when she seen the big elephants and was over whelmed by that and all the people and Landon and Josh were there, she was in her little bit of heaven. So we all sat there was blue tongues from the cotton candy..agh hum...I mean...Makaylas tongue was blue, after all we hate sweets. Okay, who am I kidding Justin and I never grew up and we are still like a bunch of 10 year olds, just as excited as Makayla about the circus and cotton candy and cool light up toy!! Once the circus began and there were lights and people dancing and jumping rope and high on trapezes and clowns and puppy's the look on her face was amazing...it filled my heart with so much joy to see her eyes full of excitement and the suspense she would feel as people were thrown into the air and her little legs jumping with the people jumping rope and her breaking out in a dance to the music from time to time. It was amazing! We all had the time of our life! Every moment was captured in my memory and stored in my heart forever!
