The Greatest Show on Earth

Wow! I remember the circus being awesome when I was a kid. It just keeps getting better. My sisters and I used to love it, so it was cool sitting with one of them, enjoying it with our kids.

It is seriously amazing what people can do to their bodies and the will they have to do those things to their bodies! There is a certain point at which you would think the human body cannot position itself in anymore. These acrobats showed me otherwise. I was amazed at what they could do. They are seriously human pretzels. The funniest moment watching them was when Madi looked at me and said, "That is just sick." It really was!

Ok seriously, I am discusted at what my children ate at the circus! We decided to stop at Taco Bell to grab a cheap, quick bite to eat, so we wouldn't spend a lot of money on food there, because you know how expensive it is. Grandma Michele gave Madi, Zach, and Ryn each a ten dollar bill to spend on something fun. Thanks, Mom. They loved it. I couldn't believe it though. The cheapest thing was $10 and it was a freakin snowcone. The snowcone was in a cute, plastic clown cup, but still! So, Zach bought that, and Madi bought some cotton candy with a clown hat attached to the bag. That was ten bucks too! Those people should be ashamed of themselves, but it was worth it to see the kids' happy faces!

I had to have a treat too, of course. So, I got my favorite, mint chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone. I guess Madi and Zach didn't want their snow cone and cotton candy anymore, because they snatched my icecream out of my hand as soon as I sat down! Nice.

Nicole wanted dip-n-dots. So, she went to go get some of those for her treat. As soon as she sat down, Madi and Zach invited themselves to that too. Sick.

The break came. Madi, Zach, and Ryn were thirsty. So awesome Uncle Cam went to go get them a drink, and he not only came back with Sprite for them, but a huge bucket of popcorn!!! I had just finished telling them that they didn't need any more treats, because they had eaten enough!!! I guess I spoke too soon.

I am absolutely disgusted with all my children ate, but if you would have seen the smiles on their faces, you would have justified it too.

They ate:

• disgusting taco bell with sprite for dinner
• some snowcone
• cotton candy
• my icecream cone
• Nicole's dip-n-dots
• popcorn with sprite

The sad thing is, is that I only planned on them having one treat!!! So much for not spending too much money there! It was a great show, and we had so much fun. The kids and myself were amazed at everything we saw. Thanks for taking us, Cam and Nicole. We love you! The best part of the whole night was when Zach said, "This is the best night of my life!" I guess all the treats were ok afterall.
