"I'm looking for a young lady to help assist me, on my next magic trick."  Zingmaster Alex announced on the circus floor, surrounded by an enormous crowd of anxious children.  It was the opening night of the circus in Cleveland.

 

Lola looked up at me, signaling that this was all hers.

 

"Shoulders back and heads up!  I'm looking for someone that stands up tall."

 

"I know.  I just know I can do this, Mama.  I stand tall in gymnastics."  She locked her knees and shuffled her feet.  "I really know I can.

 

"Stillllll looking..."   The magician surveyed the room teasing the children.

Thanks sweet Kate for capturing Lola, in action!

 

"Ah ha!  You.  What's your name young lady?"

 

"Lola."

"Tell the crowd your name."  The Ringling Bros Zingmaster ushered Lola into the middle of the crowd, that had gathered at the all access pre-show.

 

"My name is Lola."

 

Naturally, she rocked it.  I don't know where she gets it.

I am happy to provide you with special pricing unique to my readers when purchasing tickets online at www.ticketmaster.com  Purchasers can use the MOM coupon code in the Mom Central Promotion Box for 4 tickets for $44 from Monday-Friday shows and $4 off weekend shows.  The circus was a blast and the all-access pre-show was so cool.  An hour before each show you can visit with the clowns, walk a tightrope, observe the animals, and try on clown clothes.  I highly recommend it.

**Mom Central provided us with tickets to the circus and free clown noses.**

You GO to that circus!

My mother and I took the kids to that circus at Madison Square Garden one time, and we sat waayyyy up high, and everything was sooooo expensive, and the circus seemed soooo not enchanting. I'm sorry to say, it was an awful experience.

We've gone every year.

I always try to find a good deal online feed the kids a ton before going and hardly spend any money. But my kids know Im too cheap to spend money at venues.

The pre-show was awesome. I enjoyed it, as did the kids.

Cool! Where was Mr. Ohmommy? We took my son to the circus for his birthday last February and he loved it!

He joined us right after work and was able to give Fifi the bird's eye view on top of his shoulder.

I can't believe I'm going to admit this here, but my kids will never go to a circus unless my husband will take them...ALONE! I am terrified of clowns and always have been. I just can't do it...glad you guys had a great time.

it was a wonderful time! Still sorting through my photos from last night. Love that photo-The Chicken was so excited when she heard Lola was picked. She said "Mom I need to take a photo of Lola" I assured her that OHmommy had it covered! Nice seeing you again last night!

Looks like you had a great time at the circus! We were there too and it was a blast. The clown noses were too cute. Those pictures of your daughter wanting to be picked so badly are absolutely adorable! It was a great circus, wasn't it?
