A Trip to the Circus

Checking out the fountain at the Lincoln Center before the show

I won tickets to the circus!  All of my time "liking" random posts on facebook has paid off.  Freddie has been asking to go to the circus for some time, and I have been debating on whether to attend the "Big Apple Circus" or the traditional "Ringling Brothers Circus."

The tickets I won were for a Wednesday night performance of The Big Apple Circus.  It is held in a small tent set up at The Lincoln Center Plaza.

The boys were thrilled to have cotton candy and popcorn for supper.

The circus is more of a variety show with a clown, magician, acrobats, and some animals.  Hans was thrilled to see the horses and dogs come out to do their tricks.

Freddie was most impressed with the trapeze performers and the acrobats flipping off the teeterboard.

All four of us LOVED the show.  The boys were tired, but watched everything with amazement.  We didn't get in until 9.30pm but it was worth it.  There is something extra special about staying up late for a midweek outing in the city.
