The Circus

I decided to surprise Alaina with a trip to the circus in Farmington. At the last minute, Jesse told me he could go with me. That made the day a WHOLE LOT EASIER. We picked Alaina up early from school and headed down there. The circus was fun, Alaina had a blast. Jonah was not ready to sit still that long, but he made it through.
My favorites were the elephants. This lady was hillarious. She sat up there the whole time the elephants were doing their tricks, dancing with her arms--the same motion, over and over and over. I felt sorry for her, her arms were probably very tired! Alaina was being super sweet to her brother, and he was being sweet back. Join with me in saying, "AWWWWW!"

This is a close up of an elephant--I think they are so cute.
This is Jesse and Jonah's favorite. Jonah saw this picture and made the sound of the motorcycle. He thought it was pretty cool.

This part always makes me a little nervous. I know there is a big cage around them, but big cats are scary! They are also pretty cool. They are so strong and agile. All their jumps and tricks seemed so effortless.

They look like they are going to eat him. One of the tigers was actually a little fiesty toward the trainer. Made me nervous, but it ended up being my favorite kitty of the night.
