About a month ago I saw an advertisement for the circus and I remembered going to the circus as a kid and thought it would be fun to go as a family. I was so excited to share that excitement with my kids. I bought the tickets for a Wednesday evening and put it on the calendar. Alan put it on his calendar, and we talked about it at each of our planning meetings up until the week of. The day came and it turned out to be a go, go, go kind of day. I was so happy just to have a relaxing evening. It was about 6:00p.m., dinner was in the oven, I went downstairs and asked Alan what his plans were. He said he had none (which is very rare). I asked if he wanted to spend the evening with the family. He all of a sudden asked what day it was. I told him the 12th and he said, "Don't we have tickets for the circus tonight??" I freaked out, thinking it started at 7:oo and that there was no way that we were going to make it to Baltimore, find parking, and eat before it started.
Well it didn't start until 7:30, and we just had lots of snacks for dinner in the car on the way there. We parked at the arena so that we didn't have to walk far. We made it in time for the pre-show, which included getting to meet some of the performers. Alan was the Hero of the Day! Thanks for remembering! I would have kicked myself for a long time if we had missed it.
We had a great time and really enjoyed it. Hannah's favorite part was the elephants sitting down with there front legs up in the air while people were riding them. Peter's favorite was the trapeze artists. Joseph's favorite part was "all of it!"
