Second rate circus, first class fun!



Last night we took the kids to the circus. It was a one ring circus (literally) in a mall parking lot, no Ringling Brother, but the kids don’t know the difference. There were lots of light, food, big animals and old women that needed more coverage. Our friends had $5.00 tickets and we are always up for an adventure. It seems like a Mexican cultural tradition, you see little carnivals and circuses set up everywhere. My kids were the only blonde hair ones there, people kept rubbing their heads and saying something in Spanish (which I had no idea).

The show was not anything spectacular (what you would probably assume you would see in a mall parking lot), but the kids LOVED it. I have never seen Eliza be so attentive. She was glued to the trapeze artists and the elephant show. They had a contortionist that could fold himself in half and fit through a tennis racket, a guy riding a motorcycle on a cable and lots of little acts. Jared and I even enjoyed it.

Anyone want to take bets how long it will be before Eliza breaks her leg this week pretending she in the circus?
