The circus is coming!

Actually, it came.  And we went.  

Brandt was so excited when he learned the circus was coming.  He jumped around yelling, 

"The circus is coming!  The circus is coming!"

Kent got off work early and came too.

Brandt desperately wanted to take pictures.  We probably had 18 pictures of the elephants, and all of them were of the south side of a northbound beast.  What is it with little boys and bums?

Before the show started we saw Aunt Sharae, Uncle Gene, and Blake, Makenna, and Luke.  They sat with us.

The other part of our "party":

Becky Phillips, Leyla, Heidi, Jack and Simon Tanner.

That is Ian Tanner's elbow--he came too.

We had a great time.  Since we went, Brandt has been reenacting the beginning of each half.  He says, "I ringmaster. Countdown to blackout."  Then we countdown from ten and he yells, "Blackout!"  We can hardly wait until they come again.
