What Could Be Better Than The Circus?


Ticket anyone? It came to our attention that Paige and Kaylee had never been to the circus, so we decided to buy tickets this year.

Matt was a little vocal about this decision because the circus was going to be in town while he was out of town. He claimed that he couldn't remember being taken to the circus and that we probably did it when he was just a baby, therefore, robbing him of precious circus memories.

Sarah, never the shy one, felt pretty much the same since she would be out of town too.

Well, the answer to what could be better than the circus is........the ANTICIPATION of course!

This is the circus train that transports all of the animals that perform in the circus.


We could hardly wait for the doors to the US Airways Center (aka: the great and spacious building) to open.

Who needs souvenirs? Not us, we were just happy to be there.


We were told that if we got to the circus an hour early that they would let us clown around. We couldn't believe it, but it was really true.

Allie couldn't resist this picture with the cowboy clown.

This is Kaylee pausing during the performance to let us know just how much she was loving it.


See those ladies dressed in yellow riding the elephants? Well, yellow just happens to be Allie's favorite color and after watching the whole circus she has decided that what she really wants to do in life is be in the circus and ride the elephants. A girl can dream can't she?

of course, of course!! You can be the cute girl we shoot out of the cannon! :] Professional Elephant Rider is definitely my new Major. Do you think that MCC offers any classes on Elephant Riding 101? Hmmm....if not, i'll have to use my "connections" aka Dad and see if he can put in a good word to the President of the college.
