Circus Fun!

Sunday morning we loaded up and headed to Knoxville to the Shiner's Circus. This was the first time either of the boys had been to a circus, plus I hadn't been since I was really small. Riley had talked about going to the circus for a while now and when I told him that we had tickets, he was so excited. Kristin, Josh and Emma met us there to join in on all the fun. As soon as we got there, Hayden said he wanted to ride the elephant, so I asked Riley if he wanted to and he said "no way". So we went to purchase an elephant drivers license for Hayden. We waited in the line and when it was our turn to ride, Hayden decided he didn't want to. Imagine that! So then I asked him what he wanted to do next, he said that he wanted to ride the ponies, so we went and exchanged our elephant drivers license for a pony drivers license. So Hayden and Emma both rode the ponies. Next they all jumped in the tiger balloon. Then we all took a seat for the show. Riley was literally on the edge of his seat the whole entire show. Of course, we bought coloring books, light savers, hot dogs, popcorn and balloons. When the show was over, Riley cried because we were leaving and Craig had to explain to him that the show was done. He assumed that we were leaving early.

Riley's favorite part was the motorcycles, so was Dad's! Hayden said his favorite was the go-carts or the 4-wheelers. He told me that he wanted a big go-cart for his birthday!
