My son has a bucket list. And he’s only 8 :)
A little young, I know! But he’s a product of a mommy that loves to write and journal, fits ‘scriptures’ into everything, dabbles with poetry and …. make lists :) Yup, I’m a list maker.
A few things on his bucket list?
1. "To become a pastor. Or a doctor." He says the jury is still out, but either way, he’ll be helping people. Gosh, I love this boy!
2. To go back to Tennessee. We only visited twice for vacation but it placed a hand on his heart.
3. Go to the circus!
Around the holidays, I noticed ads going up around town for Ringling Bros. and Barnum + Bailey. I promise I won't go into a soapbox of why I struggle with the circus but take to heart that instead my son's dreams came true this day!
He wasn't able to sleep the night before and was up at 5:30 am on a Saturday morning - ouch! We had such a blessed and most wonderful time!
He did not stop smiling all day ~ from meeting the clowns, visiting the circus animals in the pre-show, having popcorn and snow-cone and cotton candy (I have a belly ache just typing that!) and, of course, the show itself.
His favorite part?
The 8 motorcyles in the Ball of Steel ... he's such a boy :)
The circus was completely worth attending :)
I learned so much on how much animal conservation and how RBBB is an ambassador to endangered animals. We both pledged to wear our 'awareness bands' that they gave to us to remind everyone to learn more and bring awareness to the most magnificent creatures in trouble.
