Circus

A few weeks ago the circus came into town and since Nathan’s boss gave us tickets we decided to take Conner and Jayden. Conner thought that the tigers and elephants were great and he kept asking to see lions too.

Before the show started and also during intermission they had a few activities that you could pay to do. You could ride an elephant, ride a pony, get your picture taken with a bear, or go through a blow up bouncy house. The bouncy house had a big frog on top and Conner could not talk about anything else and wanted to go in SO bad. It was 6 bucks to run through four times… We kept trying to convince him that he would rather ride a pony but he was dead set on the “big frog.” We finally gave in and it was so worth it because he had the biggest grin on his face the entire time.

Jayden was pretty indifferent to the whole experience until the motorcycles came out and he decided that he in fact did NOT like the circus… The motorcycles were really loud and everyone was cheering and it freaked him out so I had to take him out until it was over. Afterwards it of course took forever to get out of the parking lot! We kept having to stop and Conner was more impatient than we were.

Conner: “Go Daddy!”
Nathan: “Conner, I can’t go until the car in front of us moves.”
Conner: “Move car! 123… MOVE! Move now!”


It is a good thing that he won’t be getting his driver’s license anytime soon… I have a feeling he will have a problem with road rage!

How fun! I think the circus comes here in august... if we're in town we'll have to try to take the kids! It would be Wyatt's first circus. Glad you guys had fun! And it's hard to explain to your kids why you can't make the car go... they just don't get having to wait for other cars when the light is already green!
