We haven't taken the kids to the circus since Justin's 1st birthday so we were due for another visit. We found out it was coming the weekend after Justin's birthday and asked Grandma and Grandpa Miller to make a visit to the circus Justin's birthday present. Then to my excitment, I found out that they were arriving by train this afternoon and would be walking the elephants and horses through the streets of Charlotte to the stadium. It sounded like such an awesome experience. I was so geeked about it that I actually picked up Katelynn early from school just so she wouldn't miss out on the experience.
We met up with Justin's friend, Aaron (which is how we found out about it in the first place). The kids were excited as they awaited the elephants departing the train..
The elephants were so close to us, we probably could have reached out and touched them.. or close to it. It was pretty cool to be able to see them walking along the streets! They walked tail to nose and the horses followed them.
Afterwards, we were able to get a great view of the Ringling Bros Train that the animals had arrived on as it moved off one set of tracks to park for the remainder of the week.
