We are going to the circus

I have always wanted to take my kids to the circus, but have never dared before because of DS PA/TNA . This year I decided to make a few emails and see what could be done. Ringling Bros. told me that they don't sell any peanuts or nuts but that I would have to check with the vendor to see if they will be selling any. So I sent an email to HP Pavillion to see what could be done. I got the email yesterday and was told that they just needed to know how many in my party and what price range and that they would start making the accomadations.

I went to the circus 2 years ago... I didn't even think about it. then when I was walking in I was like ....OMG!.... Elaphants... Peanuts! YIKES... I don't know why it didn't dawn on me before??? ( course I was newer to PA too)
we had 3rd row seats... Everything was fine... The venders were not selling peanuts ( at least that I saw) go figure!... I wiped down the seats around us and prayed that no one had any Pb. They didn't I even let him get some cotton candy! Enjoy your self! It was a great show ( Ringling Bros)

We've been to the circus twice now. The first time - THE HORROR - I posted about it here and got some great tips on how to go to the circus safely. At that point in time, I probably didn't want to repeat the experience even though I had the tips, KWIM?
But we did go again and it was "peanut free". Great!
Have fun! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

We have taken my PA dd to the circus twice. We went to the Big Apple. I brought safe foods and she was only allowed to eat what i bought. I guess I'm lucky b/c fil knows people at Big Apple and we were able to get right in. She was terrified of the clowns at 2 1/2 and then again at 3 1/2 so she sat in dh lap. I wiped everything down, my only nervous time was the rest rooms ( for some reason these are so out of my comfort zone) I told her not to touch anything and then she had to wash her hands with soap. NO reactions either time and she still talks about grandma clown.

that's wonderful!
I was crushed when the allergist said the circus would definately not be safe for ds. (I figured this but it was still disappointing) He's now old enough that I want to take both of the kids, neither has ever been.
This gives me hope that maybe when the circus comes here we will be able to go!
