The Circus!

Samantha saw a billboard for the circus about a month ago, and has been begging to go ever since that day. We couldn't decide if we should go or not, but then we decided that if we got the cheap tickets it wouldn't matter if we had to leave. She was very excited and was in sensory overload. They let you go on the floor before it started to meet some of the animals and performers. Needless to say, it was pretty crazy! She tried on one of the outfits, but was still a little unsure of everything at this point in time.

She settled in pretty quickly, and wasn't even scared of the clowns. She even high fived one, and I must say it freaked me out more than her.

Woody was very good, and enjoyed looking at everything. He was his normal chill self.

It was hard to get her to stand still for just one picture. They had so much stuff that you could buy, but was sooooooooo overpriced that it wasn't even funny.

We broke down for one cotton candy, which was twelve dollars--yes, I said twelve dollars! She at least got this snazzy hat with it, and Ernie kept telling her that it better be the best cotton candy that she ever tasted. I didn't even want to know what a drink or popcorn must have cost. We saw one lady with five bags of cotton candy, and all we could think was that cost sixty dollars.

The show was interesting, but we must admit a little lack luster. People kept coming and going down the aisle, and anytime something good was about to happen the people in front of me would stand up to let someone in or out of their aisle. I thought Ernie was going to hurt someone. All of the dads looked totally bored, but most of the kids seemed to be enjoying themselves.

If it tells you anything, Samantha fell asleep about thirty minutes after it started. Only Samantha would fall asleep during the circus! Needless to say, we left at intermission.

Woody had a grand time, and stayed awake. He just sat there and watched. He had a little melt down, but he just needed the pacifier to suck on. Samantha did not want to go once we woke her up, but we knew it was in our best interest to leave early. Ernie says the circus that goes up and down the shore is much better. We will have to wait and see.
