It's the Circus

So we went to the circus last night. It was Ringling Brothers but not the three ring version. It was called Boom-A-Ring and they had just one ring. Personally, I thought that was better... less chaos and a great view of every act. They even had a meet and greet before the show. The kids could walk the low wire (as opposed to the high wire), swing on a trapeze, help with some acts, and get autographs.

Then we found our seats and the show began. The boys were amazed at the acrobatic acts and Matthew loved the elephants. They all loved when one elephant pooped right there in the ring. Though it's saying a lot that the elephant poop was not the highlight of their evening. They're overly impressed with disgusting stuff.

Since the tickets were free, I was ready to indulge in some overpriced cotton candy and popcorn. I expected it to be high. I just had no idea how high. I seriously thought the guy was joking when he told me how much it cost. I told him I didn't want cotton candy that badly. What's your spending limit for spun sugar?

I did break down and buy some overpriced pop and popcorn and I still owe Matthew some cotton candy next time we're at Wal-Mart.
