The circus is coming! The anticipation of the weekend trip to Duluth was not to be denied by the mid April snowstorm dumping 34 inches along with another 10 inches within the next couple of days. Miraculously, roads were cleared, tickets in hand, and front row seats were occupied at center ring.
I can visualize the wide eyed wonder flittering across Emma's expressive face as she spotted two BIG elephants lumbering in with trunks swinging and positioned themselves butt end in front of her. She desperately wanted to see elephants! Chortling at the antics of the trick dog leaping onto the horses' back, she was covered in sticky cotton candy. She was dazzled by the trapeze acrobatics and laughed along with the clown. Her chest puffed up as she rode the pony between acts in the sawdust ring.
What images fill her dreams as she slips into an exhausted sleep relplaying the elephants and the treasures of her first circus? She replays it all treating her dollies to a visit to the circus sharing all the fun she had!
