On Thursday, April 25th Grandma Judy & Mommy picked us up for a special treat - the circus! Circus Pages came to Fairmont, MN, so we attended the big top show. Here's us before the show starts although I'm too busy watching them bring out the tigers/lions to turn around!
One of our favorite acts was the lion/tiger tamer with all the lions & tigers:
There were even white tigers (see on the left side end) and they did all sorts of tricks which was so fun to watch.
During intermission they brought out two huge elephants which you could ride and yes, we did! Here's me, Hudson and Mommy riding an elephant! It was a little bumpy but pretty comfortable and we didn't get scared at all. Elephants are such beautiful creatures!
My other favorite act was watching them ride dirt bikes in this giant sphere - it was so loud! Here you can see one is upside down on top left and the other is riding on bottom right. They were circling each other, doing high fives/hand-offs while driving! They were awesome.
During the circus we got to try cotton candy for the first time (not huge fans) and also see some friends there. The show ended with the elephant act and they even held a sign to say, "Thank you" and "Goodbye"! If you ever have a chance to check-out Circus Pages we highly recommend it!
We ended our evening with dinner and getting packed for the weekend. On Friday, the 26th Mom headed to Ames, IA for her annual Young Alumni Council meetings while I went to Grandma/Grandpa Sergeant's and Hudson hung out with Daddy and Grandma/Grandpa Prestegard. Fun for us to have some special, one-on-one time (*didn't mind the attention at all!). On the way home Saturday afternoon Mom met me with Grandma Anne & Grandma Great Shirley for dinner at Applebee's in Mason City. The best part of the dinner, according to Mom, was when the waitress came back to ask if we needed anything else Mom said no but I said, "the check please". Hey, can't help it if I was ready to roll! Fun, eventful weekend - can't wait to see what next week has in store!
