Well, we ventured to DSM to the Za-Ga-Zig Shriners circus on Saturday. I have gone a number of times when I was younger, as my dad is a shriner. However, it has been many many years since I've gone so I had no idea what to expect. We were in there for 2 1/2 hours, which seemed pretty long so we definitely got our money's worth. All in all, it was everything I expected. Mason had a pretty good time. We went to the 9:30am show, and he was up and at 'em at 6:30am (which is quite a bit earlier then his normal waking time). So by about 11am, he was getting pretty tired. He might have been getting sick too, but since he gets warm when he gets tired, it was really hard to tell. Mallory was a very good little girl, and even took a little nap during all the noise. My parents, Aunt LeaAnn, sister Darcy and husband Pete, and then all 4 of us went. It was a fun family outing.
Mason and his noisy sword (its out in his toybox in the garage as it is a noisy thing)
Tony, Mallory, Lisa & Mason (couldn't get a photo of ALL of us looking at the camera.. Tony was looking away in the other one!! )
Added: sister Darcy and Pete (or Aunt DD and Uncle Pete to Mason ) looking at the camera (but Tony isn't.. he was really loving that circus I guess )
Mason riding an elephant with some little girl he didn't know
The view from our seat.. 2 of the 3 ring circus
Mason watching intently!!! Is it any wonder he still drools?!?!
The Tigers
The pigs (how many circus' have trained pigs?! ONLY in Iowa )
We did have a great day, and the 'boys' ended up at Priarie Meadows to bet on the Kentucky Derby. They had a great day, and the girls even beat them back to the farm!! (THAT never happens!!!) I'm sure this won't be the last circus we attend.

FUN!! Mason looked so engrossed! And very brave to be up on the elephant! Loved seeing Darcy in the pictures, too. It's been a long time since I've seen her - I love that girl!
'The circus is here, the circus is here....HURRRAYY HURRRAAYYY!' Looks like yall had a good time! Wish I could have joined you!
The pics brought back some memories! I'm working on transferring my kindergarten circus from VHS to DVD so Mason can see DD & me. Then he can sing the song right along with us!
Looks like everyone was having a great time. Love the pics. Boy Mason...that elephant looked pretty BIG!
