I purchased circus tickets months ago and Lily was so excited that the day was finally here! All week she kept saying, "Am I going to the circus today?" She has an Olivia book that is all about Olivia's trip to the circus so she also kept asking if Olivia was going to be there. She knew she was going to see "really really big Elephants Mom!" We were a little worried about how she would do since she got up early, went to church first and never got a nap before the circus...she did great though! This first picture is taken just right out front of the QWest.
There was a face painting station when we first walked in and I didn't really want to pay $15 for her to have her face painted, but this was her special day with mommy and daddy so we let her do it. I am more surprised that she sat still in the chair and actually let someone paint her face! I think it helped having lots of little girls in line before her so she saw what it was all about. She had the choice to be a tiger, clown or butterfly...can you guess what she chose???
A BUTTERFLY! A beautiful one I might add!
Lily eating her $8 box of popcorn.
Jason's excuse for buying her all of this junk food was that this was his first circus too. He said that he was supposed to go in first grade but he got the chicken pox so he couldn't go. I think he enjoyed the circus and all of the junk food more than Lily did!
Sharing a Tiger Sno-Cone with mommy...she licked my nose in this one!
She got to pick out one toy and of course she picked the $22 wand!
The elephants were her favorite and mine. I asked her what she liked the best and she kept saying "the monkeys." I said to her, "Lily, there weren't any monkeys there!" Funny kid.
Her face is worth a million bucks to me in this one. She had so much fun and I think she really enjoyed spending the day with mom and dad without baby sister...I missed baby sister though :) We left her at home with my parents. I think Avery would have really liked the lights and the music and there were a lot of little babies there.
