We had a blast at the circus! I went with my sister and her 10-year-old daughter who had never been to the circus before! 

This was the first year I attended the All Access Pre-Show, mostly because I'm always late and I'm never on time for a "pre" anything, but I'm glad we able to make it this year! The pre-show is open to anyone with a ticket and starts an hour before the actual show.

There were things going on all around us; clowns, juggling, horses, and even elephants performing. It's a great way to get pumped up for the show! Plus to get to actually meet and talk to the performers and even get autographs.

Shout out to Rodger Fisher "Dodger" and Kyle Barker – my favorite clowns! – who also played a nice little joke on me. Kyle asked me if he could take my picture after I took this shot of him…

…what I didn't know was that I had a creeper in the background. It was a good laugh.

Natalie thoroughly enjoyed herself. She really was excited about the horses. She kept screaming "YAY, YAY". I think everyone in the entire section around us could hear her!

The show was different again this year and probably one of my favorites so far, although I'm surprised we didn't see more of the elephants preform. I just wish it started a little earlier. Starting the show at 7:30, then having an intermission and everything, ends up being very late for little ones.

We ended up leaving a tad bit early just because Natalie was getting sleepy. My sisters little girl had so much fun she didn't want to leave!
