A couple weekends ago we saw signs for a local circus. It's so funny-- at home they have two HUGE circuses that make the national rounds, but here there are a lot of little mom n' pop type circuses that just travel around from town to town in their trailers. It was a fun experience! A special thanks to grandma Julie who played with baby Andrew at home so the big boys could have our full attention.
I think the whole tent was about 1/2 the size of a basketball court. We felt bad-- there was a small turnout. Probably fewer than 20 people. Even though it was small, a LOT of work went into this thing!
Strong. Chin.The whole show was performed either by this guy^ (who we assume is the dad) or by one of the four kids. The mom was at the mic introducing acts and saying "voila!" EVERY time they did a stunt.
The boys were pretty engaged by the show-- until W saw those stupid light-up toys at the concession stand behind us. Half of the circus he was asking us for one. Poor kid. The girl working the stand finally just put them away! haha.
Brave kid!
Both boys did flips over ponies and then a horse. I love this kid's expression!
Intermission time visiting the animals.
Same brave kid!
This act was my favorite.It was fun, but we're not in a rush to go back to the circus anytime soon... I live with enough monkeys as it is to have my fill of wild animals every day. ;)
