I went to the CIRCUS!!!!
So we (tom kaylee and i) went to the 11am show of the circus in springfield. when we got there kaylee and i went on an elephant ride. yes, that is right we rode the elephant and i was not worried about hurting the poor animal.haha also kaylee had her pic taken with a boa constrictor and that was rough on me since i HATE snakes.haha we had a BLAST!!!!!! it was so nice to be able to do this (since all of you know from group last night i was to fat to go last year with my family. we even sat up in like row J and climbed the steps with no problem.hehe i was scared i will admit when i saw the seats that i just might not fit (thinking like i was still 503lbs) but when i sat down i had wiggle room and could even slide over to one side and had 2 inches to spare (things you do when you have WLS) we had so much fun. i am just so happy and we spent way to much money but hey it was our first family circus!!!!!! had to tell you all.

nuttie, amanda, and vesta thank you so much. as a parent i am sure you understand wanting to do everything with your child or children. I was so happy that i was there and i even teared up a few times b/c i was thinking how last year i was not able to do this at all. it was a WOW moment for sure. thanks for reading.
