Yesterday we went to the Shriner's Circus. We had a great time and
I took a bunch of good pictures.
We had free tickets (Donny's boss bought a bunch and gave us some),
but I think the Circus itself is $15 per person. You can get into the
carnival for free, just pay for tickets for the rides. It was $20 for 20 tix.
After you pass the ticket booth there are Shriner Circus books. $1 each.
It has a bunch of ads, coloring pages, and clown cards. The clowns will
sign their cards for you. On the side next to the tent is where all the Lodges
set up their booths and where you get the food. Cokes, waters are $1 each.
Hotdogs are $1 and fries were I think $2. The food is pretty cheap compared
to other places. All proceeds of course go to the Shriner's Hospital. They sell
t-shirts (you will see Wyatt in one) it was $5 and he also got a Fez hat that was
$1. Then there are all the carnival type rides with games. We tried to knock
Bozo in the water but couldn't do it. I rode the bumper cars with Wyatt. Donny
got a pic of me. YUK.
The circus was great. Some WOW things. We didn't stay for the second half though.
There is a 20 minute intermission and we left. Our show didn't start till 4:30 and
we got there at like 1. So we were SOOOO pooped. And it was hot in there. It
wasn't so bad after it started though. Should take something to fan yourself if you go.
They sell drinks and such during the performances.
All $1 each. Also they sell light sabers (I think $7 each) for the kids.
All proceeds go to this WONDERFUL hospital (that is helping my son). The clowns are all so great and very nice. The professional photographers got a picture of Wyatt with one of the Egypt Shriner guys and they are going to mail it to us. They had to ask if we had signed a consent form for pics and such. So they might use his picture sometime.
