The greatest show on earth...

is not out here!!!! Saturday night we went to the CIRCUS and I was so excited all day. I couldn't wait to take Tanner to see Elephants, Lions, cool acrobats and more. WELL, I totally forgot we live in Missouri now. Let's just say it was NOT the "Ringling Brothers Circus."

Landon thought it was just fine, he had no expectations. I however did, and was let down!! We had a good laugh with it all though! It was a poor mans version of a glorified talent show. Tanner even got bored. But we made up for it by getting cotton candy, peanuts and drinks, and besides the dogs and horses in the show, they DID have 3 elephants and we let Tanner ride one during intermission. I did get a little interested when an asian girl came out and bent her body in every way your not supposed to! That was cool :)

Anyways, it was fun to get out and be together as a family. I guess it doesn't really matter what we do, as long as we're together!! But I've learned not to get my hopes up with any events in Missouri, especially if the outcome results in my boys turning into hillbillies like this...

Ahhh...what a bummer. But hey...you got the pictures to scrapbook, right? And to add to your blog! Isn't that what really counts? :) Ok...and you had some good family time. Looks like you had a blast!

K. I have to wholeheartedly agree with you on the whole circus thing. John and I went a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure it wasn't barnum and bailey either because it totally SUCKED. And... the performers looked like they hadn't washed their shiny spandex in like months and months. Ewwww. Totally overrated.

Well the circus may have sucked, but what a great picture of Tanner on the elephant! When will he ever get to do that again? Fun Times!

I'm sure Tanner was just excited to be in the presence of elephants...have to cherish the time when they really don't have very high standards.

Ya that would suck for you but Tanner probably didn't know any different. We were hoping to make it to the "real" circus this year but it is so expensive, maybe next year.
