The Doerr Family: Our Suite time at the Circus

Wow, were we ever spoiled this Friday at the circus. Some friends at my sisters church have a box at the Anaheim Pond and gave it to my sister and her family to use for the circus. Emily and I joined them along with our friends, the Billingsleys. The circus was awesome. I hadn't been since I was a little kid so it was super exciting for me too. Emily came down with the stomach flu early last week so I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to go but luckily she was better and we were able to have some circus fun.

When we first arrived, we walked around outside and got to get close to the animals and watch the tigers dig in to some grub (huge bones with meat on them). Then we went inside and walked around on the ground floor. They had clowns, jugglers, acrobats, and all sorts of people in the show down there performing and signing autographs. It would have been great but Emily was a little nervous. It was all a little too much for her. It took her about 30 minutes to warm up but as soon as she did, she really started to get in to the show and enjoy it. The suite was great. I have only been in a suite a couple of times before so this was a rare treat.

The show itself was spectacular. It is amazing to see what people and animals are capable of doing. I was bummed that Matt had to miss it because of work but he's definitely going to try to make it next year. Jack stayed home with my mom and grandma and I'm really glad he did because it gave Emily and I some really good one on one time. I don't get to do that very often so it was nice to focus all of my attention on her. Emily and I really enjoyed the elephants and tigers. It is crazy to see what the elephants are trained to do and they are SO cute! The show was great, the suite was great, and the company was great. All around, a wonderful day at the circus!
