The Circus came to town!

1 ring circus, 1 large tent!

The Circus came to town today and we went and checked it out. In Virginia Beach, we have the big one, Barnum and Baileys 3 ring craziness. Its huge, lots of clowns, lots of action, things going on in one ring, while another act is doing its thing in another... not this circus.

Its a one ring circus, with 2 clowns, 4 elephants, 3 camels, 1 zebra, 5 tigers, some ponies and dogs, and I wouldn't have changed a thing! Everyone had their own act and also participated in everyone else's acts too. For example- one guy would be a "world acclaimed juggler" and the next thing you know he is sword fighting a pirate in a different bit. All and all it was actually a really good time. I went in expecting it to be pretty lame and bad, but left actually thinking we got the moneys worth. As far as the toddler goes.... I have never seen her so happy and animated. Plus, she was enthralled the entire time and clapping... the same kid cant go ten minutes of watching a Pixar movie before her attention span goes elsewhere! A lot of people are froogle, and I usually am, but for an extra 2 dollars you could sit ring side... so I upgraded the tickets, I think it was well worth it too. Ill let the pictures do the talking tonight! Enjoy! I did! :)

This elephant looked at you in the eyes!
