The circus

 The circus came to Giddings last week and while we were there I realized that this was Korbyn's first circus!  We met up with some friends and memaw and papaw Doug.  All the pictures are very blurry, I really need to start using my actual camera for stuff like this.
 Of course papaw just couldn't resist the pony rides!  We all sat down in our seats and while we were waiting for the show to start they had elephant and pony rides and some other fun stuff for the kids.  Papaw leaned over and asked if he could take her down there for a ride.  I was hesitant only because I figured she would chicken out the minute she actually sat on it.  Even when they were on their way down there Colton leaned over and said "I bet she doesn't do it."  Well did she prove us wrong!  Papaw put her up on that pony and she was ready to go.  They had to sit there for a little bit to wait and see if anyone else wanted to come ride, and then I was thinking if they sit there too long she's going to want to get off.  Nope!  She sat and waited so patiently and the smile on her face when they started moving was SO precious.  They only got to go around like two times though which was pretty stingy to me!

One of our friends that we met up with told us about a video clip that's on YouTube about elephants that go crazy at circuses.  Colton and I pulled it up right then and there and watched it and have forever decided that she will NEVER ride an elephant!!!  Watching that movie was extremely scary, it was almost surreal seeing an elephant with kids on its back running around like crazy and knocking everything down in its path.  So, sorry Korbyn, but that will be something that you'll never be able to experience as long as you're living with mommy and daddy.
 She really surprised Colton and I both because she sat and watched the entire show which lasted almost two hours! 


We really didn't have to spend that much money because memaw and papaw sure know how to spoil :)   As soon as we walked in the gate she saw a blow up Dora and Boots and just had to have them.  It was really nice getting to spend time with them and I know Korbyn enjoyed them being there with her and of course to buy her all of her goodies!
