One day after school, Jet was excited to show us he got circus tickets. How fun. Now we knew we weren't going to take him to the actual circus but we knew we could create a circus at home.
My idea for it was watching a circus movie and eating popcorn. Simple celebrating like we did with Drive-In Movie Day.
Jeremy, awesome husband that he is, suggested some other ideas somewhat last minute to add to the "experience" so it was still simple but this is how it turned out for Family Home Evening this week (when we finally got around to doing this activity).
Jet picked a family member to come with him to the "circus" because he had two tickets. He kept changing his mind so I don't know who finally came with him but it doesn't matter because again it was mostly for him.
So... he (and his guest) presented his tickets to whoever was taking them. We had "Entry of the Gladiators" (the epitome of circus music) playing while they watched Jr. Jr. juggle light up balls. 
Lucky made Jet a balloon animal. 
Jeremy filled the stock pot to the top with popcorn. 
We also had more gummy sharks (because Jr. Jr. requested them) and some peanuts.
Actually Jeremy showed the kids a picture of him with clown makeup on and I complained about how I never liked clown makeup when it was requested for shows. Yeah, we can do circus things.
We watched the movie, The Greatest Showman, because... of course. I didn't fall asleep and watched the whole thing.
