The Circus is in town and we decided to go! Reese and I attended when he was three or four years old and Don attended during his college years. Definitely time to go again.
We have also never been to my city's new arena. The arena is nice and new. Concessions were pricey but that would be the case anywhere. They did have a large selection of food, which was nice.
What I do remember from years ago was all the souvenirs for sale. That has not changed a bit! We arrived for the pre-show - an hour before show time. On the arena floor, small acts were going on and performers were giving autographs and mingling with the crowd. Reese and I enjoyed walking around and watching the shows.
A great challenge Walker. He hated the large venue and despised being there. he begged to go home - often. The circus was too loud, too big, too bright and too dark for him. He was scared to watch the performances and afraid for the performers (the high wires really were high). Don and I need to be much more aware of his issues in the future. We are working on a diagnosis but just do not have one now. In the mean time, he needs to try to be flexible as do we.
Now on to the show. The Circus is quite a production. Not the three ring circus of from when I was a youth. The new sets were constantly being put up and broken down for the next act. Don's favorite were the tiger and elephants performing. Mine was the Bello the clown and performing dogs. Reese liked it all and Walker liked nothing.
The Circus is fun and we will go again.
