The Shrine Circus...

Ava's favorite part of the circus

The Shrine Circus was in Sioux Falls and I thought Ava would probably enjoy going. Brad volunteered to stay home with Owen as opposed to trying to get him to sit in the arena seating for a couple hours at a time which would have been challenging. Ava and I headed to the circus and she was very excited. Our seats were pretty far away, so I think it was hard for Ava to understand what was going on some of the time. She really liked the elephants and the dancers that had pretty dresses on. Otherwise, she was more interested in the snacks and toys. She got a toy that glowed in the dark that she was more than excited about. All in all, a box of popcorn and a new toy would have been just as enjoyable minus the circus, so we will have to try again next year and see how it goes. Perhaps, I will have to splurge for better seats so she can see something! It was fun to do something just the two of us, and I think she enjoyed that too.
