I started my big birthday, the one I've been waiting years for, with coffee and donuts with my siblings. We had good conversation and good donuts and lots of laughs. After we were done Connie took me garage saleing and that was lots of fun. Saturday Dan, Katlin and I met Cindy Shane and Kyann in Washington for lunch and to celebrate. We met at their really nice park. I can't think of the name of it right now. But had a family picture taken and let Kyann play a little while.
She was not in the best of moods but did manage to get a cute picture of her. Then we headed up town to the Frontier restaurant for lunch. On our way in we saw a flier for the circus and Dan talked Kyann into wanting to go. So after lunch we stopped at HyVee to see if they had any discount tickets and headed to the Big Top.
They had a petting zoo. Here is Katlin with the camel.
They had some kind of a Brahma bull who slobbered all over Katlin's hand Here are some cute goats everybody liked to feed. There was even a hippo but he was under water (lucky him) and didn't want to be petted I guess.
It was pretty hot that day and I thought I would probably die inside the tent. But there was a really nice breeze blowing through and I had my PCD (personal cooling device) with me and that helped. I didn't think I could sit for 2 1/2 hours with out something to lean on so we opted to pay a little extra and sit in chairs. We had really good front row seats.
The elephants were awesome.
The Motorcycle high wire act was right over our heads and very loud and stinky too.
I thought it was a really good circus for a small town with good acrobats and tight rope walkers
Doesn't everyone want to go to the circus on their birthday? I only had to wait 65 years to make it happen! It was worth the wait!
