The purpose of the trip was going to see Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus present Over The Top. Lynette had never been to the circus in her life, so this was a real treat. The American Airlines Center is by far the largest venue my kids have ever been to. As small town kids, the experience was quite exciting and a bit scary for them. Before we left home we had a long talk about how to stay safe in large crowds. I don't think they believed us when we said it was a big place. As we waited to get in the doors, we explored the area, walked around, and had a great time just goofing off.

The only downside to the trip happened as we were in line to get in; the PETA protesters made several kids, including Ashley cry. When parents spoke up about them scaring the children, it just made the situation worse. Thankfully, the protesters were only allowed on one side of the building, so we walked around to the other side and waited in peace.






Obviously, meeting Mom's bloggy friends was not Tristen & Ashley's favorite part of the evening. The circus was a hit with all of us! I was truly impressed with the amount of dedication these performers must have to perfect their acts, train the animals, and do what they do night after night. It was truly a fun, music filled, amazing show. Lynette and CG seemed to enjoy it as much as we all did. I am so glad we got to share the wonderful day with them!
