Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus

On Saturday we had the opportunity to go to the circus for the second year in a row. Kris's dad has bought all the families tickets and is now a yearly event. Thanks Neil!
Since Kris had never ridden Front Runner before we decided to ride it down, ya know save on gas. Well I didn't know that on Saturdays it only comes once an hour so of course we get there at 9:10 thinking it was leaving at 9:20 and just as we pulled up it left. I thought no bigger it will be leaving again at 9:40. I soon found out it wasn't coming back until 10:05. Yeah that sucked! The circus started at 11. Each time I have ridden on Front Runner it seems to take about 45 mins to get to SLC. Well this time it took an hour. It seemed like we kept waiting for something. Not the best time to take an impatient man on the Front Runner the first time and have it running behind. The whole time Kris kept saying "We should have just drove". Finally we arrived at the Energy Solutions Arena at 11:15 and it was pretty fun. Last year Broc wasn't that into it because he was so little, but this year he was a little more interested. Except I don't think he was feeling very well because he kept laying his head down on Kris. Neil had an extra ticket so we were lucky to get that ticket and brought Jadie with us. She had never been and really enjoyed it. Towards the end Broc started to get into it a little bit more and that is when the elephants came out. He loved that part. Especially when most of the elephants started pooping. The whole crowd thought that was the funniest thing. I must admit it was the best part of the show. Only because they had some clean up crew out there immediately trying to get it cleaned up and just as they would clean up one spot they pooped in another spot. Then one of the elephants sat on it and it stuck to his bum. The kids laughed and giggled.

So our trip to the circus was pretty fun and we cant wait to go again. Next time we will DRIVE OUR OWN CAR!!!!

Thanks Papa for taking all of us to the circus!!
