Ringling Brothers Circus date-night :(

[Jordan & Daisy]

Tonight my husband surprised me with a "date night" and took me to a fancy dinner and then to...the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. I am not even kidding you, I had tears in my eyes when I found out that's where we were arriving to- but I tried to hide it because he worked so hard to plan this for me. 

We had a discussion a few weeks ago about how I had never been to a circus. I didn't tell him about the suffering of the animals and how I never WANTED to go to a circus, just that I hadn't been.

I am home now, 2 hours later, and still so upset I could cry. Seeing those sick people prod elephants with pointy objects and whip lions and tigers...it killed me. 

I just had to vent about this. I love animals so so much.

Laurie, this is so sad. This is the show we were at in Providence on Friday. I can't believe this happened, poor girls.

Jordan, I thought of you right away when I heard this... It was horrible and I was only grateful that you were not there when it happened.
