Circus time finally arrived, after repeated cries of "is it time to go?" all day. Piglet left the field in the middle of his t-ball game to ask if it was time to go yet. Finally, 6:00. We drive 30 minutes to Winchester, park at the mall, and get into a line approximately one quarter to one half a mile long. I know it's supposedly the largest show in the world under the bigtop, but come on! I immediately upgraded our tickets to VIP, lest we have to sit up with the acrobats.
After a delightful forty five minutes in line, I see my former new husband. He's not as nearly as dashing or european without the scarf. He tries to lure me with treats:
When that doesn't work, he tries the sexy pose:
Alas, Piglet has picked out a new daddy:
But, being the picky ho that I am, I leave him for Reynaldo:
Seriously, anyone want to go halfsies on a circus? I am talking money machine.
$44 to get in, and that's with Piglet being free.
$5 popcorn
$5 cold, half raw hot dog that was immediately trashed
$5 small cup soda (flat)
$10!! funnel cake
$15 stoopid light up gun that's driving me insane

Damn! Going to the circus is like going to the gas pump! Where will it end...
$44 to get IN the circus?!?! Holy cow!!! I hope you had recliners to sit in!
And I love watching t-ball games... my youngest brother's teammates were always peeing in the bushes or building sand castles. hee hee.
TEN DOLLARS for a funnel cake?
I am so screwed when the carnival comes to town.
I'm kinda thinking that perhaps Reynaldo might be worth the entire cost. But that's just me...
;)
Piglet is brave, I've always been afraid of clowns!
