the greatest show on earth!

ladies and gentlemen... children of all ages...
the moment you've all been waiting for...
the whitt family experiences
 the greatest show on earth!


we L.O.V.E.D. the circus... everyone had an awesome time. it didn't start until 7:30 (yes, the time that lucas is normally in bed!) so i was def worried about him. we got there about 6 pm so that we could go to the pre-show. i will admit that was a little nuts... but once the show started, the kids were great. to watch the circus through the eyes of your children is amazing... their looks of awe, wonder, and excitement will not soon be forgotten! i can't believe all 4 kiddos stayed awake the whole time. yes, even lucas! hope you enjoy the pics...  
silly glasses!
the elephants were DEF a fav... esp with lucas. 5 days after the circus, he still says randomly throughout the day- i wanna see elephants! :)
so at one point, nate felt a little like blowing his head off. don't worry, we didn't have a real gun ;)

trace would have probably been JUST fine in a dark room at home with his glow up sword. i feel sorry for the guy in front of us, who probably wanted to beat my child with that sword before the circus was over. i think trace came close to cutting his head off a few times when he got carried away swinging it. ha!
the clowns were actually pretty funny this year. even us adults were laughing at them!
lucas was pretty impressed with the cotton candy that mama scored at the dollar store ;) he even shared some with bitsy!
speaking of clowns... yeah. the picture says it all!
ooohhh, i always love the lions and tigers! i still see them as big ol harmless kitty cats! guess that's cuz i'm not in the ring with them, huh!?!

 a fantastic time was had by all. so glad bitsy could come and enjoy it with us... hate the others missed out, but maybe next year!


and i'm pretty sure these next 2 pics say it all... remember the look of pure excitement i was talking about? here it is folks... doesn't get any better than this!

I LOVE the circus!! I always want to go even now - Will doesn't love it so I don't want to spend $100 if he doesn't even want to be there!! Maybe I should just tag along with you guys next year! I am glad you all had such a wonderful time! Love ya!

If you would just include a little more pictures and detail about my family in your posts, i sure wouldn't feel guilty about not havign a blog. I mean, really. I was there, you were there, only one of us should have to blog about it. Maybe a new part time job opportunity for you?
