Circus Circus

One lazy, Sunday afternoon, we decided to make our way to a local traveling circus in town. It was probably the HOTTEST early evening we have had all Summer by the way. It was a nice little carnival with animals such as goats (we got to feed them) and ponies. And then there were BIG Animals...and that was when I felt really bad. They had elephants, a hippo, and camels too. These animals looked so sad. I officially HATE circus' now. What a horrible life for these beautiful animals. I had a really hard time getting over that...but, the rest of the family enjoyed the event. Jacob LOVED feeding the goats, looking at all the animals, balloons, and watching the circus inside the (non-airconditioned) tent (I am just saying....I mean, I am pregnant- okay! It is not comfortable period, let alone in a sweat tent that smelled like elephant poop- I'm just saying.) They had great acrobats and clowns- which Jake loved. Plus, cotton candy! The most amazing part of the whole thing was that Jacob actually got to ride the elephant, and CRIED when he had to get off (I've never even ridden an elephant)! Him and Rocky hopped on during the intermission when they were allowing "Elephant Rides." I still felt sad for the animals...Jacob loved it...and brought his own SPIDERMAN Balloon home (which he had his eye on the entire time). Fun times for most. Pics to share...


Check it out-Jacob's actually standing on the elephant, with Rocky sitting and holding him from behind- you can't miss Rocky's shiney shoes....
