We went to the Big Apple
Circus today (thanks Katie!) It was great. It’s been
pouring all day so everyone was drenched, but the tent was cool
and nice. Lex cried a few times in the beginning (when the
lights went out, when the audience burst into applause, etc.)
but ended up loving it. They had several dog acts and Lex is a
big dog fan, so that was good. Towards the end he was tired and
bouncy, climbing back and forth between my lap and Alan’s, but
still being very quiet and watching the show off and on. It is
a one-ring show and a small-ish tent (compared to the Ringling
Brothers anyway), so “all seats are less than 50′ from the
action!” Katie got us 2nd row seats though! So we were right
there getting hit with soapy bubbles from the clowns! It was a
ton of fun.

Afterwards we went out to
dinner at a local fry joint and we had tasty food. Lex got to
run around for awhile and he even saw ducks, so he was a happy
camper. He ended up having french fries, chips, and ice cream
for dinner… but what the hell. :)

Ahh… good times.
