The Shriner's Circus





Sunday afternoon Pop treated all of us to tickets to the Shriner's Circus. I haven't been to the circus is a very long time, so it was interesting to see what all the fuss was about. Braden, Elijah, and Ethan loved it! Pop let them chose one animal to ride before the circus started. Elijah and Ethan rode the elephant and Braden rode a pony. I was very surprised that Braden wanted to ride a pony because at a birthday party the summer they had pony rides and he wouldn't even go near the pony let alone ride it. Oh well, kids change with time. Everyone had a nice time, even Logan. Logan enjoyed watching all the people and all the lights. He slept through the first part, but woke up in time for the second half.
During the Tiger act, Ethan looked over at Pop and asked him if he could ride one on the tiger's after the circus. Um . . . I don't think they'd let him do that. The boys enjoyed cotton candy, watching the clowns, acrobats, and the motorcycles on the tight ropes. I think their favorite parts were riding the animals, watching the guy get shot out of the cannon, and when Pop bought all 3 of them light up swords (light sabers). Pop better save his money. Next year there will be 4 boys to enjoy everything and ride the animals.
