A couple months ago I saw that the circus was coming to town. We had taken the kids two years ago and it was pretty neat, but Landon was just an infant and Brinley was just over a year old. It was almost more fun for us then than it was for the two of them. So, now I thought that they would both really enjoy all the theatrics and animals that the circus could provide. We got there early because they had a pre-show where you could go down on the floor and meet some of the performers.

| Both kids were mesmerized with the show, that was until about an hour into the show. Then both kids got really restless and were tired of sitting in their seats. We took turns taking one of the kids out to walk around. We also got some popcorn to try and distract them. |
 |
| I was amazed with the lion and tiger trainer. I can't believe that someone would get in a cage with so many wild animals. No matter how much training the animals have they are still wild! |
 |
| I have always been a huge fan of elephants. They are such intelligent animals and they can do some amazing things. I thought it was pretty cool how easily these animals were able to lay down and then get back up. |
 |
| Some more pictures of the amazing elephants. They were really one of the other reasons that I wanted to go to the circus. Apparently, elephants are going to be phased out of the show in the next few years. I am not for animal cruelty, but I do think it is pretty neat to see what animals can be taught to do. They are truly smart animals. |
