Elephants & Cotton candy!?

Now that I have your attention...If you're sitting at home with nothing to do this evening, I strongly suggest jumping in your car and venturing out to see the Shrine's Circus next time they come to a town near you!

As a kid I was never blessed with the opportunity to see a real live circus and now that I'm 28 and have two adorable nieces under the age of 5 years old I have the perfect excuse to go.  (Actually a lot of couples on dates were seen under the big top! It's a show for ALL ages!!)


I had my doubts as to how entertained I would be since the show started with "extreme" jump rope enthusiasts...but my doubts were replaced with fear and amazement as I sat there eyes transfixed on the Ringmaster as he jumped rope while on a spinning apparatus 50 feet in the air and tripped!!  I've never heard that many people gasp at the same time. What happened next?!  You'll have to go check out the show to find out...I will tell you this; No carnies were seriously injured in the making of this epic event!

 

All that to say that the little ones really enjoyed it and so did I!
