Fun in the Desert

There is only so much that you can do once it hits the scalding temperatures of over 100 degrees F here in Las Vegas. Thankfully, so far we have only hit the unbearable heats this past week, which is pretty good I think! If we can get through most of June spending time outside without being in water I think that we somehow beat the three months of determined home-bound, or vacation-bound summer here.

So, when the $10 circus ticket advertisement hit my email box, we were ready to go! In fact we invited a few friends along. Mateo, Nico, and Dylan all joined the fun.

The discounted tickets were for a show that started at 7:30pm, which I knew was late for the kids, but I thought one night they could stay up later, and Aaron took a good nap before, so no big deal.

We got to the show early and saw the elephants and horses up close. Nico enjoyed the jugglers. The show began, and little did I know it was going to last until 10:00 pm! I was really surprised that the kids made it all the way to the end, and enjoyed the show! It was actually a success! So glad! And we got out of there without them wining about not getting a $22 cheap light up toy! Yay!
