the circus has come to town

The Jordan World Circus made their way to the little town of Rexburg Idaho last night, along with the Nield family (minus JR). It was SO much fun to have Lyndi and the kids here to go to the circus with me (poor Dillon had to work). It was a first for all of us and we all loved it. We got to see all sorts of animals doin tricks...lions, tigers, bears, and elephants...all sorts of tricks...juggling, hula hooping, and balancing...and crazy acrobats. Towards the end of the show one of the poor acrobats fell. Yes, it was just like out of the movies and was something you only see on shows like "Caught on Tape" or "Worlds Most Amazing Videos" or whatever those are. Luckily it wasn't the one in the ring right in front of us but as he was hanging upside down the clip holding his rope to the ceiling snapped and he landed right on his head. Needless to say the show stopped for a few moments and the guy didn't move. The director of the circus hurried and got the attention turned to the center ring with the next act while the medics and everyone worked on the guy and waited for the ambulance. Kinda scary! I also thought of those shows I mentioned when he climbed on the ELEPHANT!! Yup...Gabe, Abbi and I all got to ride on "Beebo" the Elephant. All I thought about was those shows where the "tame" animals go crazy and kill people and such. (Don't worry, everything turned out well and now I can say I have ridden an Elephant). Overall it was a BLAST! We took most of the pictures on Lyndi's nice camera so this is all I have for now, it's not much but it gives you an idea. After the show we went and got us some food and took Dillon dinner and sat and ate at the mini-mart. I am so glad the Nield's decided to stay over and have a sleepover with us! Payzli LOVED our goldfish and would just sit and stare at him saying "fish...fish...fish hungry...fish...fish...fish mouth..." It was so cute! This morning we got up, ate some pancakes and played at the park before they had to leave.

Thanks for coming and playing with me Lyndi, Abbi, Gabe and Payzli...it was a BLAST!!!

LOVE YOU GUYS
