It's Circus Time!!

The circus is in town!!!! On Friday we took the opportunity of going to the circus with little Ashlee. We left Hyrum at home with a babysitter tonight so that we could be with Ashlee and not have to fight him at 9:30 that night. Let me tell you as we look at the mom's around us having to fight with their little ones, we were glad we left him at home to sleep. We sure did miss him though. Anyway we went out to dinner with my family and then went to the circus. When we first got there we were able to go down on the floor and see lots of the acts and animals prior to the show starting. Ashlee sat on Daddy's shoulders so she had the best view in the house. She LOVED the elephant and watching it paint was hilarious. We went up to our seats and watched a fabulous show. Jed of course loved the circle of death motorcycle act. (Is it just me, or is anyone automatically reminded of Wild Hearts Can't be Broken when this act is mentioned or shown!!! Maybe I am just a movie junkie but I just can't help it.) Ashlee loved the tigers and the "dancing girls in the sky." The cutest thing was when there were stars lite up on the screens and she started singing twinkle, twinkle, little star. She loved it and was so excited to be there. I loved watching her face light up with each new thing. We did relent and by here one of the severely overpriced elephant snow cones ($10) honestly is the thing made out of gold????? But watching her devour the thing was well worth the price...hahahaha! In the end we all enjoyed our time and had a blast being there. The very next day Ashlee woke up asking "We go to the circus again today?" I guess that means she really, really liked it!
