Family Circus goes to the Circus

When the circus comes to town, you just gotta go!  Marin was so excited to see all of the animals, but once we got under the big tent, she was feeling a little more apprehensive.

Elephant ride?  NOPE.

Pony ride that we spent six bucks on?  NOOOO WAY.

What’s that you say, honey?  You want to do what?

Ah yes, you want to JUMP in the bounce house at the circus…

and eat cotton candy of course!  Mmmmm.

Our favorite part was the elephant act….seriously, how can they train these huge animals to do such tricks?

The dog act was pretty nifty too.  Marin loved the poodles that ‘jumped very high in the air like an airplane!’

The first part of the circus lasted about 3 hours, so we left at intermission.  Maybe next year we’ll make it through the whole show AND build up enough courage to ride an elephant…..or a pony!
