Circus and friends

Tonight we enjoyed a mommy and me night out to dinner and then off to the circus. Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus was in town for the weekend so we decided as a group to get tickets for the Friday night show and go out to eat dinner prior. I set out to eat Mexican with Alyssa, Lilyanne and 3 other moms and their 4 kids. Alyssa had such a good time eating out at a restaurant with all of her friends and I actually had a nice, pleasant meal as well.

The circus was fabulous ~ all 2 1/2 hours of it!! Alyssa's favorite parts were the tight rope walkers, the elephants and the tall skinny guys on stilts. It was such a colorful, musical show and there was never a dull or lagging moment. Exhausted after an exciting dinner and long show, Alyssa actually fell asleep 5 minutes before the circus ended!
