Today we took the boys to the Shrine Circus. We all had a blast. The boys were probably the best behaved in a super long time. They all sat in their seats and enjoyed the show. Our show started at 3 - so we got to the arena at 2. Once inside we bought our $8 a piece light swords and found our seats. They had pre-show fun going on and the boys were hoping to ride the elephants but for whatever reason they didn't do that this year. They were disappointed but instead went down the bounce slide. They love those ever since our trip to Ocean City last year. The show started with lots of trapeze and I was surprised it kept their interest. At times they did look like they would fall asleep but didn't. They saved the Tigers and Elephants until the end of the show and that was their best part. Although if you ask them what they enjoyed the most they said the cotton candy, bounce slide and swords. Guess we could of saved the money for the actual circus. I am so happy we went and they enjoyed themselves. It makes spending all of that money completely worth it. Because let's face it - it is a small fortune to go to those events.
I love the Shriners though. They do so much for kids and their families who are going through cleft lip and palate repairs, cancer and burn treatments and it's all FREE to the families. So if the Shrine circus comes to a town near you - go and support them, they deserve it!!!
Going out with my husband is like going out with my sister. They run into a ton of people they know. Brett saw one kid that he hung out with at Brockport that he hasn't spoken to in years. Guess he also works in insurance here in town. Plus a couple people from his work and as we were leaving a clown says to him "see you on the football field". Well at first he had no idea who he was under all of that makeup but finally figured it out. It was another football official. So you know what that means folks - he is so hooking us up for our family day in August with a clown. Brett has to call him but I am sure this guy will do it and maybe bring along a couple others. How exciting!!!
