Three Ring Circus








Absolutely Crazy. For Family Home Evening we went to the circus. It was fun. All of the crazy acts with people doing weird ad crazy stuff and then of course the boys loved to see the elephants and lions and who doesn't love the motorcycles in the cageof death. IT was just fun. But there were a few suprises. Just before the circus started Brandon was holding his tooth in his hand and said that he just felt it in his mouth and it just fell out. After we looked inside his mouth we saw why it fell out, the new one was already in behind it- yeah more dental bills! Also during intermission they were giving elephant rides for $8 a person. I'm smarter than to ride an elephant but a lot of people weren't and the circus was making BANK. However 6 adults and 4 kids had the experience of their lives while walking around in the ring the saddle slipped sideways off the elephant and they were saved and held at a 90 degree angle off the side of the elephant by about 10 male bystanders that grabbed the opposite side of the saddle and hung from it with all of their strength until they could unload all the passengers. That elephant didnt give any more rides after that. ATRUE THREE RING CIRCUS! It was a great night.

AWESOME!!! I LOVE THE CIRCUS!! I wish we could have gone, Jacob would have loved it. Someday we'll go. I don't think I've ever been to a circus. Congrats on following your instincts about not wasting 8 dang bucks, plus saving your lives on not riding the elephant!!!
