Every year, AOL has a night at Big Apple Circus when they come to town. This was the night this year. Last year we decided that Mira wasn’t old enough yet, but this year we decided she was ready. The four of us went this year and we had a great time.
We got there about 6pm, which is when the gates opened. The show itself started around 7pm.
They had dogs and horses again this year. They had a Chinese acrobatics troupe this year which did two great acts. They had a lot of other good acts as well, jugglers, trapeze, clowns, and one guy who did tricks on his bicycle and other audience stuff that was very funny.
Mira had a little problem with the noise at first, and any time there was an act that didn’t interest her, she’d start asking to go home. On the whole though, she enjoyed it. One of the highlights for Mira was the bus ride from the parking lot to where the actual tent is set up. She loved getting to ride not in a boster seat for a change.
Xander loved the whole thing. He enoyed the acts, and he also appreciates the specialness of it and the fun of getting to stay up late.
The show ended around 9:15pm, and we made it home around 10pm.
They are both very tired now, as are we. They are already tucked into bed, as I suspect asleep at this point.
