The Famous Shriners Circus...

In honor of Alaina's two week homeschool theme, I thought it would be a great time to share pictures from our adventures at the circus.
We were so excited to find in our mailbox, FREE tickets to the famous Shriners Circus for our whole family!

We will forever be in the "Shriners Family." Almost one year ago, Benjamin was loved on at Shriners Hospital. We will always be grateful for the love and care he received that day and how they have offered a prosthesis, if he wants one, until he is 18 years old...free of charge.

And they give us free tickets to this amazing Shriners Circus. Can't beat that.
I mean, it's not often that a family of 8 gets to do anything free.

Even though we didn't pay a penny, it was worth a gazillion bucks. We were fascinated all four hours.

It was very easy to see from where we were sitting...up,up,up high...five rows down from the top.

That's why you don't see any pictures of Alexis. She was saving our seats...way up there as we were taking pictures with the clowns. And it wasn't easy going up and down.

But I have to say, they were the best seats in the house.


My favorite was the most flexible girl on earth shooting a bow and arrow with her feet.


When we thought that it couldn't get any better, here comes a motorcycle, riding on a rope...and acrobats...hanging...


As you can imagine, the animals were the little peoples' favorite...

Who says you can't be large and graceful?


Hudson and Benjamin's favorite...the tigers!

All four hours were totally amazing. After four hours though...my favorite part was the ending.

Looking forward to going again next year...free. :)
