Yea! The circus is in town! Yesterday, they had a free event called the Elephant Brunch down at the Civic center where we got to see them feed some of the circus elephants! There were 6 of them whose ages ranged from 7 to 43 years old. They ate all sorts of fruits and vegetables including whole bunches of bananas, whole heads of lettuce, and whole loaves of bread.
Luke loved watching them and was taking it all in. We talked about how they used their trunks to pick up the food and he kept pointing saying "el-fants, el-fants!"
The best part was when they gave the elephants their final "treats" - whole watermelons. At first, I thought they were going to pick up the whole watermelon and put it in their mouth, but instead, they took one of their front feet and stomped it and then ate the inside. Some of the elephants ate the rind, but most of them just ate the good stuff. So much fun and it almost made up for the fact that it was so stinkin' H-O-T :)
