The circus came to town.

Talk about rickety! Holy moly!

We picked up some free tickets to the circus that was in town yesterday, a whopping 5 dollar value for the kids. What we got free was made up for in price for the adult tickets. Oh well, live and learn.

This little circus quite literally was falling apart. You all know what the "Wheel of Death" is right? That ball that the motorcycle guy rides around in? After only a few short seconds of being in there, one of the stability beams came down. Luckily, nobody was hurt and my children weren't traumatized!

We enjoyed watching Gracey laugh hysterically at the clown that only knew enough English words to go along with his jokes. We also found out that Emily wants no part in eating cotton candy. And lastly, that I can barely handle the tight rope walker. One false move and that could have been really bad.

But the girls had a good time and that is what matters most.

Okay, this is one more reason why I don't go to the circus! They don't call it the "WHEEL OF DEATH" for nothing!
