Mommy & Me date night

Tonight I took Mason to the circus at the Clark County Fair. My mom watched Chace for me since Scotland had to work and so it was just Mason & me and he absolutely loved it! Not only because he was at a circus for the first time but also that he gets my undivided attention. I'm sure he gets pretty tired of me saying, "just a minute after I (rock,feed,change....) Chace". Or "shhhhhh Chace is sleeping". Here are a few pictures of the fun we had.

First before the circus started they allowed the kids to ride on the ponies they had there. For a price of course $$$$ But the look on his face when he was ridding was priceless



Then there was a giant blown up slide for kids to slide down and Mason loved that also....



Impatiently waiting for the circus to start....









and waiting.....






and waiting......





still wating.....







Finally it started!The Tigers were first. Mason loved when they jumped through a ring of fire?




There was half naked trapeze chicks. They were actually amazing to watch and didn't have any safety nets below!




This isn't a great picture but Mason was just glued to this when the guy was running inside of this thing so high in the air as it went around.



See here's a picture of him watching....



And a great "up the nose" shot!



During intermission we went and got his face painted



Got out some energy....



And found a new favorite of Mason's.....MOTORCYCLES! Yikes



He loved to watch the guys ride these in the big caged ball!!



Next came out the big elephants. When he saw them he said, "look mama, Dumbo's mama"! He's been watching Dumbo alot lately and he said it pretty loud so a couple people heard it and laughed.




And after seeing this lady ridding on the trunk of course he wanted to also...silly kid!


That was about it but I have to tell you the funniest thing... I went to the dollar store ahead of time and got a couple things I thought would pertain to the circus so I could give them to him instead of spending 20$ dollars on something there. So I was waiting and waiting for the clowns to come out.......no clowns all night!! Weird huh!? So at the end I just decided to give him the clown gift I got him anyway. He loved it and wore it on most of our walk back to the car. Everyone thought he looked so cute and commented on how it was nice to see at least one clown at the circus!
That's my boy!
