The Circus Came to Town!

Surprised the kids this afternoon and took them to the circus. It was driving them crazy that they couldn't figure out where we were headed once we piled into the car.

It was very fun. Our seats were awesome, right on the floor so we could see everything perfectly.

They had pony and elephant rides going when we got there, along with jump houses and face painting. Both Abby and Hannah did a pony ride, but wanted nothing to do with riding an elephant!  Griff wouldn't do either :-) No pictures of the pony rides because they made me walk next to Hannah, the horse queen.

Waiting to meet some clowns!

The opening of the circus. Lots of stuff going on in all three rings.

Master of Ceremonies

The tigers. Very cool. Hannah loved this act.

The dog act. All of the kids loved this act. The dogs were super cute.

Horses.

The elephants. Very cool. Although they are sad looking animals. Their eyes look sad.

This guy rode this thing all the way around, walking, running, jump roping and juggling all the while. Fun to watch, but made me nervous!

More clown autographs!

BMX act. Griff liked this and the motorcross act.

 This lady is hanging and twirling by her hair. Ouch.

Motorcross bike act. There are three bikes in this metal orb. Not sure what the guy in the corner is supposed to be doing. Holding the thing together???

Griff before the human canon ball is set to go off. He was afraid it was going to be very loud!

This was cool! No pictures because I was watching him sail through the air!
