Join the Circus Like You Wanted to

I remember going to the Shriner's Circus once as a child.  If I recall correctly, though I really don't claim to, there was a lot more promotion of their organization than actual entertainment.  Still, I was pretty excited when I saw ads that the Circus Gatti was in town - and better yet, they had a coupon for two dollars off of an adult ticket!
So my roommates Kaylee, Estefani, and I with friends Carlton and Harrison went to the Circus.  To be honest, I expected the show to be fairly low-scale (it is Rexburg, after all) and maybe not worth the price of the ticket (even with the two dollars off), but I was pleasantly surprised!  Really, from the moment we stepped inside the "big tent", I was titillating with excitement.  What with the ringmaster, aerialists, clowns, BMX "Freaks", carmel apples, and elephant rides (yes, elephant rides), I felt just like a kid again!

Too much fun!  If I hadn't had class that night, I might have been tempted to go back and watch the second showing!
