Elephant Rides

We went to the circus last night, right here in our own little sleepy town. They come every Spring and set up within two miles of our house. It's not exactly Ringling Brothers but they do well enough. The tickets are relatively inexpensive but then you have the option of paying more for an upgrade, or two. They charge extra for the animal rides and the pictures of the animal rides. Sid, Sunil , Sheela and I paid to ride the elephant, but we didn't get the picture. We bought the cotton candy and the peanuts which are only available for two minutes during intermission (hurry, hurry, hurry) and just about froze to death in the big top when the sun went down. All in all a nice time.

I haven't been to a circus in year - I used to go a lot when I was a kid and always enjoyed it. It sounds like you guys had a good time too - lucky you got to those snacks before they were sold out.

Wow - the real circus right in your vicinity! Glad you went and especially glad you all rode the elephant! (That is you all as in: all of you) not the Southern vernacular phrase!
