Friday night we went to the circus! The Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus — The Greatest Show on Earth! — came right to Lehigh, on campus, at Stabler Arena. It was awesome!
The bambinos had never been to a real circus before, and had no idea of what to expect. They were blown away. As with all things like this, I’m not sure which was more fun: watching the circus, or watching the bambinos watch the circus.
Our dear friend Beth was supposed to join us for the circus and the weekend. But on Friday, during her drive from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, her car broke down on the highway… which led to a cancellation of our weekend visit… which led to major disappointment/sadness/upset on the part of the five J-Ms (and Beth). We’ve missed Beth greatly this weekend– especially at the circus.
We didn’t want Beth’s circus ticket to be wasted, so we quickly switched plans and brought Meera’s babysitter Niomi, and her roommate Ivy, with us to the circus. They joined us for dinner before too (I had made a crock-pot of vegetarian chili in preparation for Beth’s arrival). We ended up having a great time, despite missing Beth.
I hadn’t been to the circus since my parents took me when I was a child. It was unbelievably fun! Truly– The Greatest Show on Earth!!! A super, super, super great night!
It really was a great show, wasn’t it?!! We took the girls this year and all 4 of us were just delighted and kind of astounded the whole time.
Not quite like the Storyland Circus huh?! Looks like such fun.
Looks like a lot of fun!
