SHRINE CIRCUS
The Leeds school gave out free tickets to the Shrine Circus, so Brandie and I decided to take the children to it today. I normally go with my mom and the girls, but my mom was working and was not able to join us. The trip was definitely an adventure.
Brandie pulled her two oldest boys out of school early so we could get on the road by 2 o'clock. We arrived in Minot at 3:30, got a decent parking spot, found my dad so we could get into the auditorium, and he showed us to our seats. Then we went down on the main floor and the kids road the ponies and the elephant.
The circus started on time and all the kids had a blast. Jessie's favorite part was the elephants. She couldn't get enough of them. Cassidy pretty much enjoyed it all. Brandies boys did well. Her youngest son got tired half way through and was ready to go home when the circus ended.
On the way out of the auditorium, Brandie bought all the kids balloons. Something that she and I both regretted on the way home, but the kids like them and have played with them a lot.
We are going to try and go again next year. However, next year, Brandie wants to try leaving her youngest son home until he is a bit older.
Thank goodness the circus comes only once a year. I love doing things with the girls, but sometimes it can get a bit crazy like today did. Oh the things we do for our kids!! Brandie and I did have a really good time though, and so did the kids, and that makes it all worth it.
