The Big Apple Circus is in town...and Ella Maria had actually been asking to go to the circus. Don't ask me how she knew that the circus was in town...I think we have read a book or two about the circus, but I'm not sure how she really knew about it. I guess she is just a very bright child. So, after asking for...well I can't even tell you, we got tickets. I found a coupon code online that will give you 50% off each ticket, and it was only good for Thursday, 6:00 pm shows. I guess it was meant to be...Ben was off Thursday (which is not something that happens often), and I got the discount code (which by the way had a 69% chance of working).
The stars were all aligned...and we were on our way to the circus! Ella Maria was literally jumping up and down. We took the T into town around 4:00...that will give us time to get something quick for dinner, and get to the circus on time. We got off at the Haymarket station, walked to the North End, had a slice of pizza, and some gelato. Finally we were in front of the Circus tent...went in, found our seats, and we were ready for the show to start.
And the show started!
Ella Maria did not take her eyes off the stage the whole time...she was great. Her favorite was "Grandma" the clown...when ever "she" was not on stage Ella Maria will ask "were did Grandma go?"
The dogs, the horses, the acrobats, everything was great...and she was all smiles and applause's for all!
Pizza at the North End
finally at the Circus!
the opening act...
"Grandma" the clown
Horse and as Ella Maria said..."the Princess"
Horses and " the Prince"
"The Russian"
Bello is back...he is a multi-talented guy...he is awesome!
a lot of the pictures did not come out...the Circus light is not the best for pictures. But you get the idea...it was great...Ella Maria is still talking about it, and she can spot "Bello" in every single poster in town. We will have to do this again!
Next adventure please...
