Lions and Tigers and Bears on Motorcyles

This morning we headed downtown with our next door neighbors and went to the 74th Annual Shrine Circus. We weren’t sure if Noah would sit through the whole thing, but he did really good!!! The first thing was the tigers and lion – which were on the other end. Noah was more fascinated with the light sticks that were flashing in the crowd, maybe it was because the trapeze net was sorta in our way and he didn’t have a good view of the tigers. At intermission we walked around the circus rings and he watched the elephants walk around as they were giving rides to some kids. There were also some miniature horses that kids could ride on too. Of course, I didn’t bring any cash with me when we went to walk around, so Noah had to just watch the animals. I figured he was a little young for it yet anyway.

When we got back to our seat, Rick got Noah a hotdog and he ate almost the whole thing!!! Guess he was hungry!! He only let me have a little bite. When the circus started back up again, there was more juggling with fire, dancing, and clowning around. Then out came the bears!! These bears rode bikes and a motorcylce, danced and did all sorts of tricks!!! After some more high-flying stunts, it was the  elephants turn to make their appearance. They were in the opposite ring again, but we had a good view this time.

It was a fun time and Noah did great. Rick, on the other hand, was worse than a little kid. He wanted a light stick and I wouldn’t let him get one! So he pretended he had one and would wave it around. And you know you can imagine him doing it too!!!
