Lions, Zebras, and Elephants oh my!

A year ago our friends took Carson with their family to the Circus while we were on vacation. Ever since then any time we go to Salt Lake Carson loves to talk about the circus. So wehn I saw that it was coming I jumped at the chance to get tickets! We invited Kyle's mom (Grandpa was out of town.) to come with us. I had to do a little convincing to get Kyle to go, but he agreed to go. (He was a little freaked out about the clowns, but who really isn't!)
I was so excited to go. I was so excited to see Carson and Brynnley's reactions. I do have to admit part of me was excited for me. I have never been to the circus. I can remember when I was little wanting to go so bad but it wasn't something my family did. I told my mom we were going and she said she regretted not taking us. So we headed up to Salt Lake and got some dinner before and then headed to the circus!
I thought it was so cool and was amazed and all the things they could do. Carson loved every single minute of it. Of course I think the churro, popcorn and snow cone in a tiger cup helped a little as well! His favorite part of the circus was the people shooting out of the cannons. It was pretty amazing, sadly my camera skills did not fail and I missed them actually coming out of the camera. But Kyle got an amazing shot on his phone, so ask him to see it!


Brynnley's favorite part was probably her churro that grandma got her and the dogs. She loved when the dogs came out and kept shouting "Doggy, puppy, puppy!"She actually stayed entertained for longer than I expected her to. She was a huge sticky mess when we left and I think a messy kid is usually the happiest kind!
Grandma of course bought the kids some light up toys. Carson picked one with a motorcycle guy on it and Brynnley picked one with an elephant. Carson kept holding both of them up during the whole show. He would be watching but still clutching onto his toys!
Kyle and I were both amazed and what they could get the elephants to do. It was amazing to see what such a huge animal is capable of! My favorite part was watching the kids faces light up, the tigers hissing at the ring master and the elephants. I think Kyle's favorite part was the Zebras (they had trained Zebras!), the people shooting out of the cannon, and the fact that the clowns were not creepy!
We had so much fun and were so glad Grandma could come with us, everything is always better with Grandma right! The next morning when we woke up Carson said "Mommy, did you like the cirucs?" I told him that I did, he said "See I told you so!"
