Briana's First Circus

And boy did we have fun! I kept talking to Briana about all the fun things we were going to see at the circus a few days before we went and she was totally pumped! Walking into the arena was almost the best part because you could see the excitement all over her face.

Briana did great the first half of the show before intermission, and then she got a little antsy during the second half. The circus started at noon and about two o'clock, you could hear children all over the arena missing their naps - LOL! Briana's eyes started to droop the last 15 minutes or so. Overall, she did awesome and thoroughly enjoyed her cotton candy and popcorn. Once we got back in the car, she crashed from her sugar rush and all the excitement.

I love seeing everything through Briana's eyes. Everything is bigger, brighter, more magical and more exciting. Makes me feel like a kid again...

Here are a few pics and videos for you to enjoy.

We're on our way to the circus - hooray!!

There were a few numbers that were very "Cirque du Soleil-esque" to me.

The tiger cage.

The big finale!

FANTASTIC!

Geez I love Bri in her shades!! have I said lately, how much Briana looks like you?! I know, its bloomin' crazy to say that... but its true (and a little weird?!)!!! chinese people tell Todd about 4 times a day "is she Chinese? she looks like you?!"

I noticed the photo on your sidebar, with Briana on the bungey jumpy thing - GREAT PHOTO!!!

Oh, I love seeing things through little kid's eyes. You are right everything is bigger, bolder, brighter etc. I can't wait to have this experience with my Emma. You guys make such a super cute family. Brianna is beautiful as always, as are you! Take care and sorry I've been away for so long. Hope to catch up soon.
