Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus

To kick off our local library's summer reading program, they enlisted the help of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. I was excited to take Shelby to the kick-off event last week b/c this was her first experience with clowns, and I was anxious to see her reaction as we just recently bought circus tickets for July. She was very mesmerized by the whole show and was just taking it all in. Some of the jokes & silly things the clowns did were over her head, but when the other kids started laughing & getting excited Shelby just went right along with them..it was too funny! It was a fun little program, and it definitely has me excited for the circus later this summer!

Sweet little Hadley slept through all the fun!

The clowns & our children's librarian, Mrs. DeeDee

At the end of the show, they had stickers, coloring pages,
& clown noses for all the kiddos. Shelby was SO excited about the clown nose!

This was the best picture I could snag of Shelby with the
clowns..there was so much going on, it was hard to get her to sit still & pose!

One happy girl!
