Circus Circus

This weekend we went with the Idiart cousins to the local circus. It was a little bit of a let down for someone who is used to seeing Barnum and Bailey Circus. But I guess that's what you get in a small town. The only animal they had was a miniature horse. I was hoping for a lion, tiger, or elephant or something a little more exotic than a little horse. I actually think a dog would have done better tricks than the pony. It would make a complete stop for about ten seconds before it began to hop over a little hurdle. I don't know why, but when I go to things like that I start to worry for the family that puts on the circus... like do they know that their circus isn't great? Do they make enough money to support their family? Are they happy traveling so much? I shouldn't complain, because any time together is always a good time. Mary still had a lot of fun because all of her cousins were there. To top the afternoon off we went to McDonald's for dinner and had happy meals.
