Big Top

Every day when Alana and I drove by the Ponda Center she mentioned that we will get to go there again when the circus comes to visit. Not kidding almost every single day in the last two years when we lived in Orange. Last year the circus didn't seem like it would be so great, they cut out a lot of the animals, and that's Alana's favorite part. So we didn't go, but this year we had to take her again! We bought some tickets and headed over to Anaheim one night before the circus left town! It started at 7:30, which is kind of late for Alana when she has school the next day. I am proud to say she made it through almost the whole thing. About 30 minutes before it ended, she fell sleep. Not totally surprised, the ending was kind of boring! Here are some of my favorite parts of the night!
 
 The lions! It is amazing to me that they have so many in one cage and they behave and listen to one guy. I love how they all sit up for him! Pretty cool!

 
We went to buy Alana some cotton candy and this hat was on the top of it. I think it cost $18 or so for the cotton candy. Victor and I almost had a heart attack but then realized they now come with a souvenir. You don't get a choice. But Alana loved the hat and Jack also played around with it!

Alana finally getting to see the circus again!

They totally look they like are going to rumble in this picture, it cracks me up, but it's so cute! (Currently my background on my work computer)

These Elephants are so cool!
In all, we will probably skip the circus again next year (unless somehow we get free tickets). There was so much song and dance and not enough circus acts for me! Honestly with all of the Cirque shows that are out there these days they really do have a lot to compete with! I would rather spend my $28 a ticket for crappy seats going to see a show at the Performing Arts Center next year!
