Last night we scrambled after work to get down to th Q for the opening night of Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey’s “Zing Zang Zoom”.  MomCentral and Feld Entertainment had a little event set up for local bloggers before the show and we got to meet some of the clown cast.  M loved them from afar but refused to get close enough for a photo.  So we had to settle for one of her with a cardboard elephant.

After watching the clowns she agreed to at least put on the clown nose:

We went down to the arena floor to enjoy the All-Access Preshow where you can get up close and personal with the performers; and maybe even get to be a part of the act, like Pauline’s Lola.  M loved trying on the costumes, watching Larry the Clown juggling and the Qi Qi Har Acrobatic Troupe’s foot juggling.

 

As we made our way back up to our seats M was so excited for the show.  When the opening act came out and the elephants went on parade, to say she was on the edge of her seat would be an understatement.

She danced in her seat, laughed full belly laughs and clapped wildly.  We had a fantastic night and the whole ride home she talked about all the clowns and animals.
