Surprise! We're going to the circus!

Creig and I decided to surprise Meredith and take her to the circus on Saturday!  She was so excited...as you can see!

Of course, when we got there we had to buy the cool toy that spins around and lights up and costs a fortune!  Meredith decided on a pink one that has a tiger on the top.  When you press the button it spins, lights up and makes noise...She loves it!

She had a great time, and really enjoyed the acrobats, and body benders.  The clowns were cute too, but her favorite part were the elephants.  Towards the end, they introduced a new member to the elephant family.  Here is a picture of the Mom and her new baby! 

Meredith thought it was pretty neat.  She enjoyed seeing the baby elephant.  Of course, there was an intermission.  Intermission is just another word for spending more money.  The sno cone man came by with multi-colored sno cones in really cute tiger cups.  So...you guessed it.  Meredith had a sno cone in a really cute tiger cup.  I guess it's a good thing that the cup is reusable.

Meredith couldn't sit still.  One minute she was on her Daddy's lap, the next she was on mine.  At one point she just stood right in front of her seat to watch.  She was so excited.  My only goal was to keep her from whacking someone in the head with her new spinning toy!  This was pretty much her reaction the whole time...

After the show we were able to stop in front of one of the Barnum & Bailey Circus cars to take a picture.  We were going to take a picture of each of us with her, but a very nice family walked up and offered to take our picture so that we could all three get in a picture together.  I was so thankful! 

We all had a wonderful time.  We stopped at Cracker Barrell for dinner on the way home, and enjoyed a wonderful dinner.  We definitely made some great memories!  Of course, this is the final result of one really tired little girl...

So Precious!
