So - about a month ago posters showed up around town heralding the arrival of the circus in Rexburg! There were free kids tickets all over the place, but no prices listed on any of the posters.
But we counted down the days and --- Tonight was the night!
We withdrew 20 bucks from the ATM and headed off to the fairgrounds. Visions of elephants and trapeze artists danced through our heads. We got there an hour before the show was supposed to start. We were probably within the first twenty people in line. We were so ready!! We were gonna get good seats and we were gonna see the scary clowns up close and personal! Our hearts beat in anticipation - we could see cotton candy vendors and costumed ladies inside from the show that was just finishing. (They did one earlier today.)
THE CIRCUS!!!!
This is too good to be true!!!
Yes, yes my friends, it was.
The tickets were $16 a piece. Luckily we only had $20 or I might've been tempted to stay to satisfy my inner child.
But I was a big girl, and we left. I didn't even cry.
We went to WalMart instead and bought stuff off their clearance rack which has appeared since they started major remodeling.
Then Chad treated me to a Sno Cone - they have a shack on Main Street that makes really good Sno Cones for relatively cheap. It sure wasn't the circus, but it was good.

The circus was probably lame anyway, but it makes me sad that you were all excited to go and didn't get to.
Way to make Mom sad Megan. Please shield Mom from your tales of woe in the future.
