This morning as I was dropping off the boys to catch their STEM bus we saw the big top being raised on the fair grounds. Can we go to the circus Grace immediately chimed. The circus is cool said Ethan. And a seed was planted.
When I got to work I sent Rob a text "the circus is in town, should we go?"
He got off work early, we rushed home from school and braved the rain and went to the big top. It was exciting and fun. Grace took an elephant ride, the first of her life. We cheered and gasped and wished that we had such exotic pets and exciting lives.
Then we came home and were covered with puppy kisses, sat around our table eating left over enchiladas, did some homework and felt grateful for our family and our home and the lives we have.

ReplyDeleteIf you love elephants your family will never attend another circus. Tim Frisco is the elephant trainer touring with Cole Bros Circus. Go to YouTube and type in his name and you can watch how he trains elephants behind closed doors. Bob Barker narrated this video on YouTube called No Fun For Elephants.
ReplyDeleteThis is why my family will never attend another animal circus, I hope yours won't either.
