Eric got tickets for an evening at the circus, an outing for Felix, Grandma, and Grandpa. Before showtime, they had an hour of up-close-and-personal on the floor with the clowns, jugglers, and elephants which was a good way for Felix to get acclimated. We were a little taken aback when he sat immobile and expressionless in his seat the whole time, but we were even more surprised the next day when he gave his father an animated blow-by-blow description of the entire evening. Grandpa was most impressed by the seven motorcyclists whipping around inside a wire globe, Grandma was charmed by the elephants, but Felix’s favorite was the clowns’ food fight! He was also impressed with Hercules the Strongman who could pull an elephant on a cart, catch a cannonball, and bear the weight of a car driven over his chest. Every day he wants to read his souvenir circus program and relive the excitement.
