Tonight I saw the most beautiful moon-rise and had to drive up the bluff for a photo op. Unfortunately, I have a moderately priced point-and-shoot camera, which means that the photos turned out terrible. This was the best I could do: a super blurry shot of the moon taken from the street corner down the block from our house. The moon was huge! This picture really does not do it justice. Maybe someday I will get a "real" camera from Santa or the Easter Bunny...(hint, hint, Jeremy!)
Last Tuesday Beth and I took the boys to the Jose Cole Circus. I had heard that it was pretty bad - a bunch of wiener dogs jumping through hoops amid intermissions where clowns tried to sell you $10 glow necklaces. I came prepared: a purse full of snacks and a 12 pack of glow bracelets from the dollar isle at Target. Mom: 1, Circus: 0.
I did, however, get suckered into paying $8.00 for Evan to ride on a smelly, sad looking elephant. Mom: 1, Circus: 1.
Evan found the circus pretty entertaining - this video of him is fairly dark, but you don' t need to see his face to feel his excitement - he is laughing so loud that it got all of the other kids (and parents) around us laughing, too!
The highlight (and low light) of the evening for me was the dancing elephant. I only wish I would have shot some video. It was amazing - I know it sounds corny, but she was actually quite good! I also felt very sad for her though, no majestic wild animal like an elephant should be forced to dance in a traveling circus for peanuts (pun intended). I hope she enjoyed it. All in all, the circus wasn't bad, and well worth the $10 admission.
