Circus Fun!!

Papa Martin and Grandma DJ flew into Belgrade last Saturday night .... and we managed to keep them on the go while they were here.  They got in lots of quality time with Kailer (lots of hide 'n go seek, tractors and motorcycles) and we even managed to slip in a trip to the circus in Three Forks. Not knowing what to expect, we decided to check it out.  With a hefty price tag, we were hoping for a star performance!! 

Introduction - here come the clowns!!

Kailer and Daddy by 1 of 3 elephants!

Family photo-op!  Mmm, snow cones and PB&Y (that would be [Y]ogurt - yes, I'm one of "those moms" who restricts my child's sugar intake!)  It should also be noted that Mr. Kailer was offered (and briefly tried before taking it out of his mouth) cotton candy 3 different time and he didn't like it! I know, is he a normal kid?!?

Every kid needs a blow up monkey on a stick. Poor monkey doesn't have a chance!

Elephants parading around the arena!  Boy when I "pick up after" my dog I use a grocery sack ... these poor lads had to use a giant shovel and a garbage pail!!

Planning his escape!

Mommy (briefly) caught two monkeys!

Kailer and the monkey trying to escape......

All in all the show was good for Montana standards and it lasted nearly 3 hours ... not bad for $64 (tickets), $8 (snow cones)  $5 cotton-candy and $6 (blow up monkey)!  They sure know how to rip you off - but we had fun and that's all that matters, right?!?
