The Greatest Show on Earth

Yesterday we were lucky enough to go to THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH...the CIRCUS!!! Handley's bestie, Avery, invited us to come along with her family.  They had a few extra tickets in a suite and we were so excited to go.  Gigi and Papa kept Harper so that we could have a fun day with Handley.  

We got to go down on the floor before the show began to see the clowns and a few animals up close.  Handley seemed a little timid, but I think she was just in awe and taking it all in.  She got to try balancing on a ball with one of the acrobats and we got to see an elephant named Asia painting!  Her treat for painting such a pretty picture was an entire loaf of bread!


After that we headed up to our fantastic seats and the girls enjoyed lots snacks including Handley's favorite - popcorn.  

She said her favorite part of the show was seeing all of the animals. 

A BIG thank you to the Atkinson's for inviting us! We had a blast!

Looks like so much fun! I think that even that elephant can paint better than me. :)
