This Place Is a Circus

At the St. Patrick's Day parade they were handing out free children's tickets to the circus so Mary and I jumped on board and decided to take the kiddos.

We stopped for a quick lunch at McAllister's Deli and then headed to the circus.  Truth be told the show was actually a tad boring, every attraction dragged on a bit too long.  All the performers seemed about 15 years past their circus prime. #giveitup  It also reminded me that I don't really like the circus and I hated seeing the animals forced to perform.  Actually made me really sad.

On a lighter note, Elle and Henry are so stinking cute together!! The decided to hold hands during the show.  Melts my heart. 

Elle was so bored she actually fell asleep so Henry and Mary flew solo during the intermission madness fun.  Somewhere in the middle of this crazyness Henry is riding a miniature pony.  Oh, and there was a large snake in the middle of this crowd available for pictures. No thank you.  As soon as Mary and Henry returned from the pony ride with a large light-up sword we asked Hen if he wanted to leave, he said he wanted to stay but about 10 minutes later changed his mind.

Not our most exciting Seester/Cousin date, but you win some, you lose some.  Although we did win in the aspect that Mary's new Tahoe wasn't trampled by runaway elephants.  The scene of Mary and I running through the parking lot with Henry and Elle with elephants on the loose would have been a much more entertaining show. :)
