The three of us went to Jasper's first circus April 29 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines. It was the Shrine Circus and it was fun, but we had some mixed results.
Jasper LOVED the bears, especially when they rode their bicycle and motorcycle but didn't care much for the clowns. He liked watching the people on the trapeze but wasn't at all interested in the gals spinning by their necks high above us - yelling 'motorcycle bear' while they were performing. He also really liked watching the elephant and pony rides before the show and during intermission, but the lines were too long so we didn't actually hop on. (He still talks about the smelly elephants - 'Ewwww.')
The show was just too darn long so we left at intermission. But before we left we tried to get a photo with the clowns, which resulted in some tears. The night was saved, though, when one of the clowns gave Jasper and I red noses.
