We took the kids to the circus. .and agreed we would buy them nothing. We never realized how much marketing they did towards the kids. . "we want that. .and we want this". We decided next time we would pay extra for seats in the "no sell" zone. . kind of like the check out lane without the candy. Do you think that exists? Finally, PaPa gave in and bought all the kids a ticket to ride the elephant. It was worth it. .they all thought it was pretty neat.

This elephant act impressed us all. .who would think you could get an elephant to sit down?

and then stand up on a little platform?

and then lift his hind legs? Amazing!

A great time was had by all!
