While visiting my family, one of the things we ended up going out and doing is betting on some horses at the local race course. Saratoga Race Course is a track I do remember going to as a child, but had no idea Taid, my grandfather, went every single year, because he was taken by his father to see the horses race. With very little experience at race courses, my sister and I were curious, and my dad actually didn’t know the betting system at all, so it was an interesting and time.

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to game night, our household loves trying out new board games and spending time exploring some of our favorites. We’ve spent a lot of time playing new types of board games, but often ditch the classics like Monopoly. With that said, Dann and I had both played “local rules” versions of Monopoly and are always interested in new ways to experience classics – so when we heard about Monopoly Lifesized Junior, we were curious!
Monopoly Lifesized has appeared in central London, offering a few different boards for people to go and explore. There is a classic version, a London-specific board, a board that contains Mr. Monopoly’s vault, and Monopoly Junior, which is the only board aimed at younger children. The other three are for adults only. Monopoly Junior is really an event for kids – with not a lot of parent interaction, but it’s one of those magical events that has so much going on, that younger children are sucked into the fun, games, and magic of being in a lifesized board – which is enough to make any parents with them happy.

When the circus is in town, we are always around – so when we saw signs appear around our town talking about Cortex Circus, we had to book up tickets right away. This circus was a bit more pricey then previous ones that have appeared in our local town, with pretty expensive front row seating, but it turns out that’s because. a lot of the show is actually done towards the most expensive seating – with this circus being quite different from previous ones we have attended.
Cortex Circus has a bit of a punk feel, from the spike studded leather jackets to the graffiti that they have as their sign. This punk feel persists throughout the show – and there are a lot of different costumes and such that are on display, which correspond with the different acts that you can find on the stage in front of you. A lot of the acts had dancing numbers as well, which is pretty interesting. Several of the dancing numbers happened in between major acts, with a few others happening during acts, though these were not my favorite. The ones that actually happened during the acts sometimes made it so that we could not actually see the act itself, between the dancing and fog machines. Otherwise, the dance numbers were really well done and worked quite well in the setting.
