Crazy Circus!!

I took the kids to the circus in Murray at the National Guard Army last Tuesday night. Grant had a late meeting and my friend Melissa wanted to take the kids. We went together last year and had a blast. I didn't think twice about saying yes. I should have thought twice. It was awful!!!

We got there early to ride the elephants. Both kids love it!

We really should have left after riding the elephants, because it was all down hill after that.
Jack was scared to ride the elephant until he say us ride it. Melissa offered to pay to have Hayden ride again with Jack. Hayden was all for it.

This was Addyson's face when she realized what Hayden was getting ready to do. She doesn't like to be left out.

Well the circus finally started. They had to stop in the middle of the first act to pick up after the horses. Very entertaining!!


Hayden kept asking why he was seeing the same people over and over. The same people would come out dressed in a different costume to perform a trick. Hayden wasn't fooled. He knew that their should be more than four people performing.
The trick that impressed us the most (insert sarcasm) was the lion tamer. Hayden looked over at me and said, "I could be the lion Mom."


Needless to say we did enjoy spending time with friends but will think again before going to the circus.
