Circus

We took the kids to the Jordan World Circus this past Wednesday.
The older girls had been to the Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brother Circus when they were little. This circus was smaller and didn't quite compare, but we enjoyed it.
While we waited for it to start the kids got a little bored so I brought out the suckers. Andrew really wanted to ride the elephant. Aside from the outrageous cost the line was long so we passed. He was a little disappointed. You have to have cotton candy when you go to the circus!

Parker did ok for being 3 years old. The performance started late in the evening and he was getting tired. He climbed from Aaron to I and back and forth, but other wise he loved the show.


All of the performers. They did a great job.

The tightrope walkers were incredible. The one on the left even jumped rope while on the rope that was at least 20 feet off the ground without a net underneath.





I loved all of the areal performers. There were many acts with trapeze artists and men and women climbing ropes and cloth. They were graceful and pretty.

There were 2 trained black bears that were cute as could be.


I loved the elephants. They did lots of fun tricks.
