The Circus Is Coming To Town!

As soon as I heard that Karlie and Buffy were coming - I just knew we had to go see the circus! The circus was in Reno and put on by the Shriner's. Uncle Mark went with us too!

Karlie was so excited that she was shaking - plus it was really cold inside!
There were trapeze artists, bears, elephants, toy poodles, balancing acts and tigers too!
On the intermission, the Shriner's were selling tickets for a ride on the elephant! Here is Grandpa and Karlie waiting in line for their turn.

We were really surprised that they put her on in front. We thought they would put her in the middle. Karlie kept saying later that she got to "drive the elephant and she touched his ear"! When the ride was all over and we were back in our seats, Karlie kept asking "Where are the elephants?"

Here's a video of the elephants!

Grandpa had to buy Karlie some souveniers - bought her a stuffed elephant on a leash, a light-up butterfly and a light-up necklace.

And when it was all over - Buffy and Karlie got their picture taken with a friendly clown!
