3 Ring Circus

The circus was in town this weekend and there was no way we were going to miss it.  Nicholas was so excited to see the tigers, elephants, clowns, and acrobats that we've been talking about for weeks but the excitement started to wear off pretty quickly.  Don't get me wrong, the show was very nice but there were a few slow parts that left him feeling a little bored.  Almost 2 hours into it.....as we were sure the show was wrapping up.....they announced that it was intermission.  INTERMISSION????  At this point the only thing I wanted to stay for was the elephant ride at the end.  But the second I saw them bringing the elephants out for half-time rides, we seized our opportunity.  The ride wasn't cheap and it wasn't very long, but how often do you get to ride an elephant?   So, Nicholas got to see his first circus, ride his first elephant, and eat most of Daddy's corndog and an entire bag of cotton candy all by himself.  I'd say it was definitely a good day.

Warning: these pictures were all taken with our phones so they're not the greatest.
