The greatest show on earth!

The circus was in town so our Katoa family decided it would be a great chance to get all the kids together. 38 of us rode Trax up to the Energy Solutions Center and that was a "circus" in and of itself. We all had a great time! Grandma Katoa was able to come too, but Grandpa was not feeling well so he missed out on all the fun. The circus sure has changed since the last time I went...at least what I can remember of it. They utilize a lot of electronics and technology in the show and it is pretty good. The cost of things is ridiculous though with cotton candy going for $12 and other trinkets plastered with the circus logo for $20 and up. Well...needless to say little Hema is the proud owner of a lite-up sword and dad is out 20 bucks! Crazy I know but...oh well. Vela on the other hand didn't cost daddy a cent and was all angel. She loved the circus but when things got loud Vela figured out how to cover her ears.
We had great seats but this was big Hema's view for most of the show!

Before the show little Hema got a kick out of the elephants getting ready using a leaf blower to clean them off...reminded me of a giant hair dryer.

Thanks for letting us know about it. My kids had a great time. Thank goodness we had the big screen to watch most of the time. Other than that, the elephants looked like the size of horses from way up at the tippy top of the arena.

I haven't been to a circus since my mission. A circus in Ukraine was pretty cute to watch - they didn't have all the funky electronics and stuff that our circuses have. That's great Hema and Vela loved it so much. And yeah, 38 Katoas on Trax would be as entertaining as what goes on in the three rings!
