Shrine Circus

Last Friday we went to the Shrine Circus with the Mackays. Every year they come to the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds, which isn't too far from us. Last year, I actually went on a field trip with Rachel to the circus. This year we decided to go as a family. It's definitely a lower budget circus, but the kids still love it. They've got animals, acrobats, and motorcycles. What more could they want??? We went expecting to pay to get in. I stood off to the side with the kids while Natalie and Andy went to buy tickets. A sweet Shrine Circus worker came up to the cute couple (Natalie and Andy) and offered them free tickets. They motioned over to me with the rest of the crew and he gave them enough for all of us to get in. So, we ended up not even having to pay. Shows you what a cute pregnant belly will do... ;)

Ian definitely enjoyed the show and was very excited the whole time:

We definitely had a fun night. The weather was actually really nice. I was worried about it being too hot, but we had a bit of a breeze that helped out. We were a bit disappointed with where we sat. Most of the time the entertainers faced the other side of bleachers. Next time we go, we'll make sure to sit on that side. But there were benefits because it wasn't as crowded on our side, so the kids had plenty of room to wiggle around. Everyone enjoyed the show!
