Okay obviously I’m just kidding but seriously after last night I think she would in a heartbeat. This was my first time ever going to the Circus and it was AMAZING. Eva was enthralled throughout the entire show. It had all of her favorite things: beautiful Horses, Zebras, Elephants, Tigers, fun music, dancers, and acrobats. The entire thing was just filled with excitement. I don’t think she blinked once.
I would have to say her favorite part was probably the Elephants. The whole way there she kept saying she wanted to see Dumbo. She was not disappointed.
My favorite part was the human cannonball duo. Amazing to be able to fly through the air like that. Just amazing.
This might sound silly but something about Circus performers has just always fascinated me. I sat there wondering what each of there stories where. Did they grow up in the circus? Did they from a long line of clowns, animal trainers, and acrobats? I was so interested to read their bios in the program and to learn that many of them are from other countries. That just made them even more cooler. I started imagining joining the circus and touring Europe.
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Zing Zang Zoom Circus is in Phoenix until 06/28 this Sunday. If you can go I highly highly highly recommend that you do. Really, especially if you have young kids. Eva had so much fun I almost want to go again this weekend.
You can get your Tickets at TicketMaster.
Saturday June 27th 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 7:00p.m.
Sunday June 28th 1:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m.
On a more somber note. RIP Michael Jackson. His music was a part of my childhood and so many others for the past 40 years. I know there is a lot to be wondered about in how he led his life but he was a musical genius and well there have been many geniuses who have lead strange lives.
Growing up 15 miles from Disneyland my Mom and Dad took us whenever they could. When they didn’t have money to take us into the park we would go on the weekends and watch the water show at the hotel and then the fireworks afterward.
Disneyland has always been a part of my childhood and whenever I go back it just invokes a feeling of happiness in me that no other place does.
Walt Disney was an inspirational person and someone I look up to for is innovate mind and his willingness to take chances and dream BIG.
In Eva’s 2 years of being on this planet she has been to Disneyland 4 times and we plan to go many more times this year since we already bought our annual passes. She is a big fan of Mickey/Minnie Mouse, Dumbo, and loves the Princesses and Tinkerbell too. What can I say it is just in her to love everything Disney. I think I’ve mentioned this here before but whenever we go to the mall she doesn’t want to play in the toy area because it is right in front of the Disney store and she just wants to hang out in there the whole time.
I am so excited because Disney on Ice is coming to Phoenix one week from Tomorrow! We are taking her and I know she is going to love it.
For all you Disney Fans out there it will be here in Phoenix April 9th – 12th and if your not in AZ click this link to see if it is in a city near you.
For the Arizona show if you enter the discount code: MOM you can get a family 4 pack for $44 which is a great deal!
Okay, here is the part where I’m supposed to tell you all the great places to visit around Phoenix. I’m sure there are a lot of them but I don’t get around much so forgive me if this is not the best list. Although if I were still in So Ca I would have plenty to write about but I’m not so here we go…
If you like hiking (which I do not) there is South Mountain Park where I’m sure you can see many more cactus like this one and a few rattle snakes too.
I’m sure it’s a beautiful view but cactus, snakes, and tarantulas just aren’t my thing.
Okay but really some places I do like to go are…
The Phoenix Zoo where this beautiful Macaw lives
The children’s Museum, how cute is this?
…and of course our wonderful dowtown where you can eat, drink, or catch a game. Go Suns and Diamondbacks!
That completes my tour of Phoenix, Az. It is about 20 miles from me but there really is nothing to do where I live except eat and shop which I already covered in my previous posts. Hope you liked it! I definitley enjoyed touring around everyone elses’s hometowns.
