The Circus

We decided to take the kids to the circus.  We got some free kids admissions so off we went.  Neither Brandon or myself has ever been to a circus so we had no clue what to expect.

The circus.  All the lights in the background are from these souvenir lights wands that EVERYONE was buying for the low price of $15 each.  The things people spend money on.

The tightrope walkers.  They were actually pretty cool even though we had a straight on view of them and couldn't see everything they were doing.

Owen and Norah looking on.

These dancers that hung from ropes and did cool tricks.

At intermission they let everyone down to ride the ponies, elephants, and take a picture with a real bear...all at a price.  Brandon splurged and let the kids ride the ponies.  They LOVED it.  Norah loves animals and so she was so excited about it.  That is pretty much all she remembers of the circus.

The Owen Man riding the pony.  He also loved it.

The elephants were preetty cool.  They did some pretty cool tricks for elephants.

Owen loved the motorcycles that went around in this ball.  They got 3 going at a time.  It was pretty cool.

They shot a guy out of a cannon.  There was a lot of hype and then it was over but the kids liked it.

All in all, the circus was pretty fun.  A little overpriced but could have been a lot more pricey had we bought all of the things that everyone else did.  Probably won't go back for a while but we enjoyed ourselves.
