Circus !!

 

Sorry for all the cell-phone photos but we had fun yesterday and I wanted to show you.

The Circus came to town and we took the family, including of course our grand-daughter, to see.  It was a great success, she (still not quite 2 years old) loved it.  Actively watching, pointing, clapping, she really got into it.

Of course right at the start, I was a bit worried.  Her mom and dad went for popcorn as we first headed to the seats.  So as I carried the little one in, the lights were already low and the music already quite loud.  The little one had a tight grip around my upper arm.  It took several minutes for her to loosen up and get turned around, so she was sitting squarely in my lap.

I could tell she was finally enjoying it when she took one of my thumbs in each of her hands and made my hands clap.  As soon as my hands were clapping, she clapped too and it was clear she was a circus fan !

 

Y'all  take care.
