Henry and I went to Illinois State's Gamma Phi Circus on Friday night with my friend Emily and Henry's friend Charlie. Unfortunately it's more of an acrobatic circus with lots of acrobats and gymnastic stunts and the boys were each hoping to see some very specific animals. Charlie was hoping for a donkey and before we left for the circus Henry said, "mommy, maybe there's a flying dog there"! Even though there were no animals at this circus, both boys really liked it and did really well. We were able to sit pretty close to the stage and fortunately there wasn't anyone directly in front of us so the boys could see easily from their seats sitting or standing. Because it started later in the evening, at 7:00, which is close to bedtime, we only stayed for the first half and left during intermission. We missed the flying trapeze, but other than that, it worked out perfectly!
Henry's favorite parts: The "spinners", he keeps talking about them. I'm pretty sure he's referring to the people in the video below. And the popcorn. He was very protective of the popcorn and even though I thought we were going to share, he ended up holding (and eating)most of it by himself (minus the 2/3 that we spilled all over the arena floor).

The boys look so cute together! BFFs! The ISU circus looks more impressive than I thought it would be. Oh and the flying dog bit? Made me laugh out loud! How funny!
How did you do with the clowns? :-)
I also laghed at the flying dog - don't you wonder sometimes where they come up with things?
