Carson & Barnes Circus

Saturday the circus was in town so we took the kids to see the show. They were so excited they could hardly wait.
The big, and I do mean big, thing that excited them were the elephants. We actually woke up early in the morning and went down to the park and watched the elephants put up the Bigtop tent. It was so fun. We tried to get pictures of them working but, they were inside the tent and you could not see them on camera because of the lighting.
There were camels, ponies, llamas, a zebra, a hippo, horses and goats. The boys enjoyed petting the goats very much.

After the morning of fun we went to eat at Daddy's Mcdonald's. The playground was a great bribe for the boys to eat their lunch. Then it was back home for a much needed nap!

Later that night at the circus we witnessed lots of amazing feats. There were acrobats, tightrope walkers, hula-hoopers, clowns, elephants, dogs, ponies, and horses all doing tricks. We had a great time being entertained by these talented preformers. Suprisingly alot of them were children. It made me wonder how different their lives must be from my children's. I can't say I wasn't a little concerned about their futures but, I guess without people with those lifestyles my family would not have been able to take pleasure in a night at the circus! It just struck me as a little sad. Even though, we had a great time and got lots pictures to remember this night for a long time. I put a slide show together with a few short videos, the music is a little annoying so, turn it down if it bothers you. It is olaying on a tiny screen right now but they told me it would be fixed next week. If you are having trouble seeing it try again in a few days.
