This was Matthew's very first circus. We had been talking to him about it for the last few days and he was really excited.
It was such a great feeling taking our son to the Shrine circus. My grandfather was a Shriner when I was a very little boy. Each year when I was young he would take me to the Circus. So today being able to take Matthew made me very happy.
The circus was fun. They had lions and tigers, bears, elephants, trapeze artists, tight rope walkers, many clowns, pony's, horses and so many other things to watch. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours!
One of the acts were three men and one woman doing tricks while riding very pretty horses. At the end of their segment the announcer said "From Kazakhstan are the ....." Michelle and I looked at each other and I said "What did he say???". Intermission followed and we went down to where all the activities for kids were and saw the lady that rode the horses. We asked her where they were from. She said that she was from Kyrgyzstan and the men were from Kazakhstan. She looked at Matthew and said that he looked Kazakh. She held him and we took a picture.
Matthew seemed to really enjoy the show, the kids and everything else. It was so much fun watching the excitement on his face!
Looks like he loved it!
