Ringing Brothers and Barnum Bailey

When I was a little girl, probably in early elementary school, my family and I went to Madison Square Garden in New York City to see the Ringing Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus.  At one point during the show my dad took me down to the front, they ushered me onto the circus floor and I became part of the show.  I felt so important being out there, I loved it!  Years later I learned that my dad slipped some money to the attendant, hence why they allowed me to join the other kids!  I love him for doing that, for making sure that our family outing together (which was rare) was even more special! 

So needless to say, I have a special place in my heart for the Ringing Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus and it was with great pleasure that we took Katie today for the first time!  Sorry Sissy, you wouldn't have been able to sit through it . .next time!!!

 
Katie loved all the "animals and dancers"!


 . . .and her hot dog, pop corn, lolli-pop and rice krispie treat!


YOU!  Playing outside with her and sissy's wands.  Even though Caroline wasn't there, we made sure to bring her a present.


Just think this picture is cool . . .
