"Dang it!"
John couldn't believe that they had missed the opening parade. They had spent hours stuck in traffic because of a car wreck.
"Don't worry honey, we can still see the side shows and the main event."
John sighed. He knew his wife was right, but he was worried about going to all the different events.
"Can we see the hypnotist? I've heard these shows are pretty good," said Ben, who was trying to act nonchalant about it. John could tell he was excited, although if he asked Ben, the kid would say that he was too old for this.
"Oh, Oh, Can we see the animals? Please? Please? Pretty pretty please with sugar on top?!" Emily pleaded.
"I've heard their magician is amazing," Susan added, "Maybe we could see that instead?"
John needed to make a decision. They couldn't possibly see all of these things in one day. He wondered what they were going to do.
