This afternoon, as I was taking supper to a friend who had just had a baby, I saw a big sign that stated that the circus was coming to town.  As we have never gone, I thought it might be a good idea to take the children, knowing that they would be completely excited to see the elephants and tigers and all of the other acts.

Taking a closer look, I saw that they were selling advance circus tickets at one of the grocery stores near our house.  I decided to buy some and surprise the kids by telling them that we were going for a drive and end up at the circus.

I think it will be a very interesting day for our family and I just hope that my two-year-old does not get scared by some of the larger animals and that she will sit nice and enjoy the show.  I know, that my five-year-old will think that it is amazing and exciting and I can’t wait to see the look on his face.
