We started off the day by going to church. Hannah loves going to the nursery and even talks about it on the way there, so this was a great way to start her special day.
After church, we came home and gave Hannah her presents - an alphabet puzzle...
...and a zoo train. We thought this would be appropriate and get her excited for the special outing we had planned for her after her nap.
Helping Daddy open up her new animal train.
After a quick power nap, we got her up and took her to the circus!
We started off by eating circus junk food - pretzels that of course had to be dipped in cheese and later we all enjoyed a perfectly done elephant ear.
Getting ready for the show to begin. The show started off with lions and tigers, which I thought would be her favorite, but they were a bit difficult to see through their surrounding cage.
The horses and camels were probably Hannah's favorite act. She sat totally captivated on my lap throughout the entire act. She also seemed fascinated by the trapeze artists.
We had a great view of the tight rope walkers. They were pretty amazing.
We got up and stretched our legs at intermission. Since we'd rather skip the long lines waiting for a very short elephant ride, we walked through a trailer that was filled with all kinds of "stuffed" animals. Needless to say, Hannah was a bit unsure of all of the animals staring at her as we walked through.
She did love watching the ponies giving out rides.
By the time the 2nd half started, Hannah was getting a bit restless. Since nobody was sitting next to us, we let Hannah have her own seat. That didn't last very long, and we ended up leaving shortly into one of the first acts. Considering we'd been there for nearly 3 hours at that point, though, we thought she did great! Judging from her overall response, I think she had a very fun 2nd birthday.
