Circus

On Saturday, the whole family went to the Shrine circus in the cities. It was a lot of fun. They had alligators, ponies, elephants, and a camel, but no tigers or lions. This was most of the kids first circus. For a special treat, dad let Betsy and Seth ride an elephant. When we drove into the circus, their were protesters outside. Probably PETA, but you have to wonder what kind of a life the animals live in a circus? The people directing cars wore shrine hats, and Luke asked, "why are they wearing buckets on their heads?" I didn't get a picture of one, and for those of you who don't know, a Shriner is a man wearing a hat on their head that does look like a bucket. The circus was a lot of fun, but the weather outside was nasty. All wet. We're still getting rain. Today we went to Christenson's for our monthly bible meeting. Another wet dreary day, so I stayed inside. I'm one of the oldest kids in this group, so I'm kind of on the edge of playing with the kids, or talking with the moms. Kind of an awkward stage. Oh well. You got to grow up some time. Yahweh bless.
