Another fun family night

It all started when Jake came home with a free ticket for the circus that was comin to town. We weren't really sure we wanted to go because it was one of those "when good animals go bad" type circus. You know what I mean, elephants going crazy and trampling people, bears chewing up their trainers, you get the picture. Well, we finally decided it would be a family time activity so we headed for the circus. It was in Orem at the the school there so we didn't have far to go which was nice. We arrived early, Jeff doesn't do late he gets too nervous. They had rides set up for the kids. Innocent pony rides, which is what we thought the kids would pick. But of course not. They picked the elephant ride. Jeff could picture it. Our children on the back of an elephant, just as it decides it hates giving rides and wants to kill all in its sights. But Jeff put aside his fears and let them get on anyway. They had a blast and got off all in one piece.

We didn't let the babies on, we aren't totally crazy. The circus actually ended up being pretty good. It was a tad long so the babies got a bit stir crazy but they did alright too. The boys really love this stuff and we had a great night watching them get so excited and nervous about all the nutty people and their crazy performances. We were happy we went. The babies favorite part was the nachos and churros. Can you blame them? I think the older boys loved the food too but they really got into the show. And as you can tell from the following picture, I am not sure if Jeff really had a favorite part other than the end.
