The Elephant in the room.. or area..

As my blog Mad Hatter Mom becomes more successful, I have been given more opportunities that I can enjoy with the kids and our entire family.

This month I was invited to have a Pedicure with a Pachyderm! The Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey circus is in town and the PR company that promotes them asked myself and several other Oregon bloggers to come out to the Rose Quarter in Portland and enjoy a pedicure courtesy of Pink & White Nail Salon. We were encouraged to bring our kids and a few days before they told me to bring a friend as well.

I was able to share the experience with my BFF Jo and her kids. It was such an amazing treat!


As we were getting our pedicures, the trainers for the circus brought out their star elephant Asia to get a pedicure too! The kids were able to learn about the care and feeding of the animals and were encouraged to ask whatever questions they wanted.

The particular show that was in town was called Zing, Zang, Zoom. It's filled with magical and clownery. We got to meet 3 of the top clows (left to right) Ivan, Todd, and Larry not to mention the Zingmaster Alex.

It was so unbelievably awesome to be within 3 feet of such a magnificent animal.

We learned that Asia LOVES watermelon.

So the kids were as excited about this photo op as I was but oh well!
