Last weekend we had plans to go to the Shrine Circus in Grand Forks on Saturday. Well those plans were ruined because Friday night it decided to snow - when I say snow, I don't mean a few inches, I mean at least a foot. Isn't winter over?
Sunday was much nicer so we took the kids to Grand Forks to see the circus and do some shopping. Last year, the circus wasn't that great but we thought we'd give it another go. We pay our $24.00 to get in and find some seats. Then, of course Olivia wants cotton candy so her and I are off to find an ATM. The only ATM is outside of the ticket area so I ask a shriner if we can go out to the ATM and he smiled and said "I wish you would" which I found amusing...of course he does.
I bought her cotton candy and a little wand toy along with one for Jackson. We sat down and the show started. The show opened with acrobats which I admit were pretty good. Jackson was even watching them intently. Then, it slowly got worse. About 20 minutes into it, Jack was done - Trevor took him out in the hall of the arena to run around. I forgot to mention, they said at the beginning of the show that no elephants would be there this year (which of course is what Olivia wanted to see the most). The next act came on and I kid you not, it was a fat guy jumping on a trampoline - it was BAD.
Olivia finally looks at me and says "Mom, I like the circus and it's really fun but I'm just a little bored, can we go to the mall??" So off we went, 1/2 hour into the circus and about $50 later, off to the mall.
