-- So the Circus was in town this weekend, and since JG got a "free" ticket at school (even though it was free for kids anyway) the hubs and I decided to take the kids. After we stopped at the ATM to get some cash for the fun day, we proceeded to go to the coliseum filled with tons of people. So $40 dollars, plus the 5 I had in my pocket should be more than enough to have a fun morning, right?? So after 10 dollars a piece to get in for the adults, so now 1/2 our money is gone, John Gary spots the elephants, with little children riding on them with their parents. Oh, daddy will you ride the elepant with me? Well my 6'5 260 lb. hubby said, no daddys too big, but mommy will! As I looked over at him with a sarcastic smile I proceeded to go and buy tickets to the elephant. That will be $20, what??? Ok, so for less than 5 minutes on an elephant, one of us being a parents and one 3 years old, ok now I dont think Im very cheap, but we had already promised JG he could ride and he was waiting with bright eyes staring up at the huge animal. I swallowed my pride, paid the money, and now with $5 left, I hope there is nothing else there. So after the 30 second elephant ride, JG spots swords. John and I look at each other, and are like no lets go find our seats before we have to take out a loan to pay for this morning. So, these light up plastic swords were everywhere, and at $20 a piece and we knew they would last about 10 minutes, no thank you. So, we are over the sword fiasco, JG is happily sitting in his seat watching the tigers, when BAM! out of nowhere come the "Powderpuff Sword Girls" with the light up swords "which now are being paraded around the coliseum with huge light up packs, you guessed it, FOR SALE! Well we had already said no, and now that he started to stick his lip out, we definitely couldnt give in. He had a great time, it was fun, but come on people, give parents a little bit of a break? Parading around with the hottest item, while kids everywhere are crying because theirs already broke, or because there parents had to take out a second mortgage after riding the elephant! Well needless to say, after 90 minutes of circus fun, came intermission, and we were all ready to go. So, we left and daddy and JG went to the mall while mama and G went to Kroger (where I saved 40 dollars with coupons).
Then, Sunday, before church, daddy and JG went fishing, They saw a baby alligator, but JG informed me when he got home that "daddy couldnt find the fish." haha.
Here are some pics from our circus adventure and the boys fishing. Have a great Wednesday!
