The Circus

We just celebrated Ford's first birthday with a circus theme so when it actually comes to town you can't expect anything less than for us to go! And that's exactly what we did. Even Ford got to join in on the circus fun this time around (which may not happen next time seeing that he had to be taken to the car for the whole second half). Ford was squirmy in one of our laps the whole time and Olivia was too busy begging for everything under the sun or playing with her new circus elephant to actually pay attention to the show. The total time that all four of us actually sat and watched the show is an embarrassingly 10 minutes, maybe(that's pushing it). Maybe sitting still will come with age for our two. Hence the family picture you see below...... 

I think the only part of the show she actually paid attention to was the elephants. Even then she just reenacted the elephant pooping on the floor with her new toy elephant (yes, the elephant pooped in the show...twice!). And of course, that's the only part she remembers when we are telling people like Sunday School teachers that we went to the circus.....never a dull moment.

Love her to pieces nonetheless.

Ford enjoyed the mere 5 minutes of the show he did watch. Maybe in a few years, buddy.

Her new toy elephant. 

Maybe the circus should be a Collins family tradition in a few years........
