Zing Zang Zoom!

Talk about the Greatest Show on Earth! Aurora won 4 free tickets to Ringling Brothers circus from the library (oh, how I love the library) so we invited Annie and Spencer to join us for the greatest day ever! I was a little nervous finding my way down to the Staples Center and not being able to get the tickets until the day of, but boy, did we luck out!We couldn't find the parking garage the website recommended but instead, landed a sweet spot right across the street for less than half the price!
We were just in time for the doors to open for the amazing preshow where we got to go down on the floor of Staples and see up close and personal clowns, elephants, and acrobats. The kids weren't quite sure about the clowns, but I think they are pretty cute!
We were given seats EIGHTH ROW CENTER! They were incredible! We were right underneath the high wire act! We could see the expressions on the elephants faces! We couldn't have had a better seat in the entire place!
Aurora loved her first (and I'm sure not last) taste of cotton candy.
But best of all was the look of pure glee on Aurora's face. Nothing compares to the joy of a child!
