The Greatest Show on Earth

Barnum & Bailey Circus

Last Friday, Kristen & I took our boys out for date night.  We started the night off at the great "Chick-fil-a!"  After a quick dinner, we headed to the Coliseum.  We arrived about an hour early for the chance to sit center stage before the show, meet performers, and see a few circus acts up close.  That was fun for the boys, although Brady was not too thrilled about getting out there and dancing.  He sat on the sidelines and watched as Braxton and some of the other kids interacted with the performers.  Brady was a bit bored just sitting there, so we went to check out the light-up sword collection.  We bought one for Braxton and he and Brady sword fought most of the night.  Boys will be boys.  After we grabbed some goodies at the snack bar, Kristen led us to our seats.  She completely surprised us all with front row seat !!  Thank you Kristen, what an experience it was to sit just 15 feet from all the action.  The circus was quite long lasting somewhere in between 2-3 hours.  Kristen and I enjoyed our evening with the boys, one that will not soon be forgotten.  This truly was one of the best date nights I've had with my Brady boy!





Clowning Around!

I was so excited when a friend of ours from Columbus was chosen from the audience to participate in the circus.  His name is Shane Spann, and he was attending the circus with his son Jackson.  He made the show!
