Last week Jay's sister called us and told us about $15 tickets to the circus. Not just any circus: Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus. Who could deny such a deal? Saturday we were off to the circus!
Our adventure began with a train ride. Ryan Jr. and Kyle LOVE trains, so I really think a simple train ride really helped to make their day even just that more special.
Hailey was not as into the train ride as I thought she would be.
As soon as we got to the Garden, and Kyle spotted the souvenir circus toys....we were in trouble. We went into the circus and sat in our (nosebleed) seats. Jason and I were like kids again. We were captivated by everything! Kyle just wanted a toy!
When it was time for intermission Jay had to get them a toy. It was ALL HIM.
He was in super-dad/super-family mode. He even wanted to get a circus family picture.....AND he bought the frame.
I'm not exactly sure what got into him, but he really wanted to capture our first family trip to the circus. =)
Then it was back to the show!
Once the circus ended it was back on the train and out to lunch. We parked near the common, and were looking for a place walking distance to eat. Boston Pub here we go........it was weird. We walked in and were getting all sorts of looks from people. What were we doing going into a bar (that serves food) with 3 kids 3 and under????
We definitely took a good look at one another and wondered when the four of us became old enough to actually be parents, and how strange it was to be in such a old yet unfamiliar environment with children.
I think Ryan's face in the picture says it all......
Luckily for us the kids were very quiet and well behaved. In fact they all fell asleep; so we were even able to enjoy a few cocktails, well, everyone but Rhonda =)
It was an amazing show. A random, and relaxed lunch. It was a great day. I look forward to more shows in the future with the kids.
