Circus
A traveling circus came to town! This circus was human performers only and they were coming to our local high school. We grabbed some tickets.
This circus the size of a high school gym wasn’t overly thrilling…that’s okay. Sometimes smaller is better for our kids. It is less overwhelming than a huge, loud, crowded environment. It’s the Goldilocks rule: not too big, not too small, just right.
As usual, we opted in for any community event Mikey might enjoy…we are nothing if not consistent.
