A Trip to the Circus

RINGLING BROTHERS BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS

ZING ~ ZANG ~ ZOOM
This was Sydney's first trip to the circus --- we went with Luke's pre-school. Mrs. Sharon got us some ROCKIN' SEATS!!! They were right up front!!!
We had a such good time!!


Syd was just fascinated by the goings on......but still wanted some snuggles!!!

This is Ivan......
He is a "REAL" circus clown. When asked if he'd take pics with us, he HAPPILY jumped the retainer wall and came up to our row!!!

Uhmmm, unfortunately, Sydney was NOT feeling it!!!
Neither was Luke - he wouldn't even go over to the guy!

Which one is the REAL CLOWN, again?
AJ thought it was too cool!!

Luke sat like this throughout most of the 2 1/2 hours!

The costume on the elephant and performer were BEAUTIFUL!!!
This big 'ol thing circled the arena as the National Anthem was played!


I wish we had a better shot of these flags - they were GORGEOUS!!!


Sydney kept pointing to things and saying ---
"THAT, LOOK, LOOK, MOMMA MOMMA!!!"

This guy was RIGHT above us on one of those weird wheels things.
AMAZING!!!
I JUST LOVE THE ELEPHANTS!!!
The horses were beautiful!! This one "bunny hopped" all the way out of the arena!
The cannons shot 2 areialists out onto 2 huge airbags!!!
On our way back to the car......we were ALL sooooo tired!!!

I took Logan to the circus this past month and he also loved the elephants (and tigers), but NOT the clowns. It must be a toddler thing.

These were great, Kristi, but I couldn't tell who was more excited, you or the kids. Ha-ha! Ethan and Emily have never been to the circus and these pictures make me want to take them the next time it comes to town. I'm glad ya'll had such a great time.
