This is what you think of when you think of the circus, right? Well this is not what I experienced Saturday when Andy, Nate, Shannon, and I took our kids to the Pages Circus. I think it may have possibly been the worst circus ever.
When we first get there we are all very excited..... until we get inside. It was held in the 4-H barn at the fairgrounds which was very small and of course it smelled like ass. The ceiling was very low and we were wondering how they were going to have acrobats, let alone bring in huge elephants! Before the show they offered pony rides which Carter insist he ride, twice. They were the saddest looking ponies ever! I was fine with him riding them But when they unhooked the ponies to take them out of the ring, they went crazy! They were bucking and biting, it scared me to death. I had been worried about lion attacks and elephant stampedes all day!I thought if the ponies were this wild, We would all surly be eaten by the time the night was out!
Well, the show began, and the longer it went on the worse it got. The lions and tigers looked like they had the mange. Every time they would jump onto their platforms the platforms would fall over. There were only two clowns, a 8 year old boy and a 20-something guy, and neither was very good at his job. The 20-somethings pants fell down on the trampoline but I have to say I kinda enjoyed that! ( Nice package Mr. Clown!!) The Camel just ran in circles, big whoop!, the jugglers only juggled 4 items, yippee, the trampoline guys almost cracked their skulls on the ceiling, ouch, the woman acrobat was 20lbs. shy of weighing what I weight, way to swing big girl!, and at one point they had a dog in an elephant costume, poor thing!
They finally brought the elephants out and I was so disappointed. They looked so sad!! And let me just say nothing, not even my husband, smells as bad as an elephant fart. Of course we had to sit in the front row. The butt was facing us and I think the wind from it blow my hair back. I think my mouth was open too because I can still taste it!! YUCK!! We finally got to ride the elephant and I have to say that was the best part. If you've never rode an elephant I highly recommend it. However the spine can ride up your who ha, so be careful ........or enjoy.........
LOVE YA, Jo-n-JO
