Surprise....Night at the Circus!

I had no idea last night was going to be about the strangest circus EVER. Last night I thought I would vlog about the Jewish 1928 Craftsman I live in, in honor of Passover. But, it will have to be another night.





I am not a huge fan of any circus, namely because I think animals belong in responsible captivity or in the wild.

THERE. I said it. I am with the animal lovers. I promise.

But, this was complimentary through Dr. Romance's place of work, and we couldn't pass up costly and nearly inedible circus food. He made up for it with those frivolous light up icy razzly dazzly things I would never buy the kids. At least it was Tuesday and Dr. Romance brought a container of THOSE brownies. It just wouldn't be a Tuesday night around here without them!

We surprised our kids. They had no idea where we were going. They LOVED the circus. This was their first. And, YES, my kids rode an elephant. They have been dying to ride an elephant since the Hubs rode one in Thailand. So we indulged them. For the record, I have ridden an elephant, too, but it was in San Diego. I have no idea how these elephants are treated, but the trainer seemed very loving. We stayed until the end....long enough for my boys to consider being shot from a cannon.

  3. We have done the circus twice now. Barnum & Bailey's and the Shriner's. After our first experience Bella constantly asked when can we go again? Besides being an allergy nightmare, we enjoyed ourselves both times. The second time was even better because it was free!
