The Circus came to town!!

ALL the way back in January Jason came home and said he wanted to get tickets to go to the circus in a couple of days. I was game, and we both thought the boys would love it. We made it there in time and took our seats. The boys behaved extremely well and loved every part of the circus. They were so attentive the whole time. And Jason had never been to the circus so he quited enjoyed himself. I would catch him saying "Oh WOW, oh coool" haha, it's like he was a little kid again. I loved it. Jason and the boys before the show started.

another one. I was trying to get the boys to look at the camera but with all the people around they were looking at them instead of me. I'm just not that interesting to them anymore. :D

Jensen Here is the bear riding the rocking horse. The boys LOVED watching the bear and kept pointing at him.

Gotta have the man that spins dinner plates on sticks.

During intermission you could have the chance to let the kids ride elephants, horses and get your picture taken by the bear. We ruled out the elephants because it was too high and we thought the boys may not like that. SO we rode ponies and got our picture taken with the bear. See that plexi glass? That is all that seperates you. I was closest to the bear with Brad on my lap. He could not take his eyes off of the bear. loved it! The lady that kept the bear under control kept feeding him Golden Grahams. After the bear we headed off to the ponies....

waiting in line to ride ponies....

Me and Jensen

The boys absolutely LOVED riding the ponies. In fact they cried when we had to get off.

Intermission was over and dthe circus continued on. There was tight rope walking, dangerous stunts and women who were almost naked twirling around on ropes. I was thinking to myself when the women kept coming out dressed in almost nothing "isnt this a show for kids?" "should women be wearing those in front of kids?" and of course the answer to that is NO!! Anyways, just my two cents on that subject.

Then out came the Elephants!! Jensen and Brad pointed more and clapped more during the elephants time than any other time. It was quite fun to see them so excited. So here are the many photos of the elephants.

The last "ACT" was 4 guys in the cage riding in circles. Pretty fun, but very loud and stinky. The boys loved it.

We had so much fun out as a family. The circus was good although I do remember The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey being better. The one thing that dissapointed me was the fact that they didnt have lions or tigers. Oh well. We had to rush home because I had to get to Relief Society and help set up for the activity that night (i'm the RS humanitarian). Cant wait to take the boys back to the circus in a couple of years, and within the next month or so we will make it up to the Hogle Zoo!!
