The Greatest Show On Earth

Last year just Lillian and I went to the circus and I have to say that it wasn't that much fun. Mainly because I was eight week pregnant with John Whitten at the time and spent most of the circus in the bathroom being sick. We ended up having to leave it was so bad and Lillian cried the whole way to the car. I still carry Mommy guilt over that day....but this year was much different. We had a great time, and Lillian loved everything about going to the circus. She like the horses and the elephants the most, but was still pretty amazed by the tigers. And what was most amazing was that we actually left the circus without a light spinner or any other kind of toy!! We offered to get Lillian something special, but after looking over the table two or three times she kept telling us that she didn't want anything. It didn't break out hearts that she didn't want a $20 cup shaped like a tiger or a crazy light spinner. We were just happy to get out of there without the circus breaking the bank!

John Whitten did great the whole time we were there, and even fell asleep for about thirty minutes while Shaun was holding him. We had a wonderful time as a family and cannot wait to go back next year when both of our kiddos can really enjoy and experience it!




We had great seats...and it was packed!

The only thing Lillian did want was french fries...

she really LOVED those fries...

like, really loved them!





I hate watching these people...I pretty much keep my eyes closed during this performance

did I mention how much I hate this act...Shaun had to take the pictures.

Is that Shephard's baby carrier, or did you buy one? Do you like it?

I LOVE Lillians little boots! Cute!
