March of the Elephants!

Roar! Last night was the annual march of the elephants. Every year when Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus comes to town they march their elephants through the Midtown Tunnel and down 34th street to Madison Square Garden. Normally it's a big production and there is a huge turnout of people, but last night the weather was really terrible and not even PETA came out to see the elephants. 

Despite the weather, I did go to see the elephants. I met up with my friend Mr. Tusks from Gerritsen Beach. He was really excited to see his larger relatives march down 34th street to perform in the circus. Being a circus performer is apparently quite prestigious among elephants. Roar!

It was dark and rainy, and little hard to see the elephants, but there they are having a good time.

Mr. Tusks was so happy! He didn't mind making the trip up from Gerritsen Beach at all. After the elephants went by we tried to find a place to buy some peanut butter ice cream but everything was closed. Oh well, we'll just have to plan ahead next year. Roar!
