Elephant Parade & Circus








The Greatest Show on Earth is in town and we got together with some family to prepare by seeing the Elephant Parade downtown. A pleasant surprise was the temperature which was pretty mild. The girls did great and enjoyed seeing each other I think as much as the elephants. (I'm talking about our daughters, but Em and I enjoyed the visit as well!) Daddy and Uncle Tad were champs holding onto the girls the majority of the time and some fun shoulder time too! Nana joined in the fun and played some games with Vivi on the way home with our new clown noses. We made a second round attempt at it taking Vivi to the circus the next night. She was a champ (with zero nap that day!) making to the last 15 minutes were she passed out on daddy's lap. She did light up to see all the activity and I'm so pleased for a tip from a friend to bring your own snacks and stuffed animal. We opted for better seats and brought animal crackers from the grocery store!

How fun! We did the one in Dallas one summer and took the train there and back. Great fun but like you said exhausting.
