Last night, we were able to attend Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s “Zing Zang Zoom” circus courtesy of Mom Central and the Feld Family Activators. When I say, “We”, I mean Stacey (The BFF), Stella (BFF’s daughter), Angry Toddler and myself. Angry Husband has been very busy doing work-type stuff lately.
We started the night off with a Special Event for the Activators. We were treated to a buffet of wonderful “circus-type” foods (i.e. hot dogs, soft pretzels, all you can eat cheese dip for the pretzels). We then had a great show put on by Magical Zingmaster Alex. Stella was chosen as his helper. She was very excited.
They then brought in the clowns and goofed around with the kids. They loved the clowns and thought they were very funny, and not so scary. Ever since Poltergeist, Julie has not been a fan of clowns. Stacey and I agreed, that these were not scary clowns.
*All Access Pre-Show
At 6:30, we went down to the floor of the Honda Center for the “Clown College” show. We got to meet more performers up close, along with getting autographs, seeing the elephants, and even miniature horses. This is event is FREE to everyone with a ticket to the Circus. Several hundred people “flooded” the floor for this. Angry Toddler seemed to get lost in the shuffle. He is used to Daddy putting him on his shoulders. Ya, a 45 lb. kid on my shoulders was not too comfortable.
*Main Event
It was then time for the “Main Event”. We went up the stairs and took our seats. Stacey and I were very excited because our seats were on the end. Yes, we are big dorks. Angry Toddler and Stella requested more cotton candy. We obliged, because really, we wanted some of the sugary goodness also.
We saw acrobats, elephants, horses, zebras, and even dogs perform some fabulous acts! Angry Toddler and Stella really loved the show. I didn’t even tell Angry Toddler that we were going to the Circus, until we got there. He talked about going to the Circus all day today. He was very excited to tell his preschool friends this morning.
I really want to thank Mom Central and the Feld Family Activators for such a fabulous event!
