Dear Diary,
It was a dreary rainy day today. The thought of going to the circus knowing that the grounds would be a muddy mess was unmotivating, however when Arick's excited voice called to finalize the evening plans there was no chance of canceling. As expected, we arrived to puddles and mud and mushy grounds seeping with brown water. Some places had layers of hay attempting to provide some coverage of the muddy ground. We paid an extra $2 for ring side seats.
I have to say the show was very exciting for a one ring circus. The opening act of Bengal Tigers was riveting. At one point the five tigers were lying on their sides on the ground to roll over in sync. One was not in sync and one tiger growled and snapped at the one in his way that moved too slow. There were awesome clowns, a cool juggler, a hula girl, some acrobatic rope girls, Flying Fernandez trapeze boys, Eskimo dogs, an elephant dog and of course performing elephants.
I have to say I have never been so close to an elephants ass before. That is what my two dollars got me with the ring side seating. The elephants went parading by doing their stunts spinning around and placing their front feet on the butt of the one in front of them. I couldn't believe how freaking close the elephants were to our seats. I was glued to my seat waiting for the slip of the elephant and the moment of getting squashed. I thought I was scared when the tiger snapped but the elephants tail swinging inches from our faces left me scared stiff and will be an image that will take some time to fade.
I am off to bed wondering what strange dreams may come after this evening at the circus.
