When we lived in Portland, we took Connor to the Barnum & Bailey Circus when he was around 2. On the drive there, I looked in my purse, said an expletive, and realized I forgot our camera at home. So much for being an organized mom : ) We ended up buying an outrageously expensive camera there, with pictures that were pretty much non existent (on a side note though, he still plays with that ridiculously overpriced camera, snapping pictures around the house) When we heard they were coming to Michigan, we didn't at all hesitate in saying we would go!
Overall it was a great experience. They had a preshow before hand where the kids could meet and greet some of the performers, and watch them practice some of their stunts. They could try on costumes as well, even though Connor was more interested in watching juggling and the giant elephant doing tricks. Barnum & Bailey know how to do a circus right, even if they do charge $12 for cotton candy!
Thanks to the Melton family for inviting us!!
