the food and souvenirs

As a warning to all future circus partakers: cash in your savings and college funds because you will need it, not to get in the doors, but to make purchases once inside. Good gracious! Talk about highway robbery.

Here's a numbers breakdown:
-ticket to the circus: $12
-bottle of water: $3
-snowcone in a clown head cup: $9
-popcorn in a circus box: $7
-cotton candy in a circus top hat: $12
-souvenir plastic sword (like the ones they sell at Dollar Tree): $18
-soft plastic circus elephant: $16

Honestly, is that even legal?

Jack is in love with his "efunt". He brought it to MDO on Monday and his teacher said it didn't leave his side all day. He carries on entire conversations with it and they even shared a bowl of cereal this morning.

Max suffered the consequences of eating his ENTIRE BAG of cotton candy later on that evening.

Of course, G-man had sword in hand throughout the show. I thought he might decapitate the innocent patrons sitting behind us.

Jack finished the entire snow cone from the creepy clown head.

Sidenote: Fortunately for our children their grandparents not only treated us to the event but also to all the goodies inside. If we had been in charge of fundage they would have been eating fruitsnacks and smuggled bottled water from my purse. Thank you, Memaw and Pepaw!
