Well, we tried to take Gabe to the circus. He was SOOOOO excited to go, and talked about it all weekend. So the big day comes, and he is barely able to sit still. Gary and I pick him up early from school, and we head across the street to the traveling circus. Gabe sees the tent and gets even more excited. We walk over to the elephants, and everything is still going well. Then we enter the huge tent, and I feel Gabe starting to grip my hand a little tighter. We walk around to find some seats, and that's when it happens-Gabe sees the white tigers in the cage, clawing and pawing angrily to get out. He starts FREAKING out, crying and yelling "I want to go hooooommmmeeee!" It was really pitiful. We try to take him outside to calm down, but by this point it was too late. Then he sees the clowns outside, and it gets even worse! Nothing is calming him down, so we head over to the ticket booth to try and get our money back. Luckily the woman remembered us and did not give us any trouble in reimbursing our money.
I just couldn't beleive he reacted this way! Gabe was so excited to see the circus, but I guess we should have better explained the circus to him! What does a 3 year old know about the circus? He did so well at the zoo, so the animals spooking him really amazes me. Long story short, here are the only 2 pictures I was able to shoot before it all went wrong. Maybe next year :(
