We went to the circus on Saturday. I had really high expectations that it would be something like this...
(Circus scene from "Big Fish." Probably one of my top five favorite movies.)
but unfortunately, it didn't quite measure up. There were good parts, but overall, it was a little boring. The clown acts were long winded and grew old really fast. There was A LOT of cheesy singing that you couldn't even understand because the microphones were too loud and echoey. I guess it's cool to say that I've been to the circus, but I think once is enough for me.
The pictures didn't turn out very well, but here are a few highlights...
Kasey was a real sport to come along. The whole time he was wishing he was watching a Jazz game though.
The best act was when these two guys were spinning around and jumping on these tall, metal circle things. The picture doesn't capture how high up they were, but it was very impressive and scary.
These poor tigers should have ganged up on this obnoxious man. He was jabbering away, telling them to "Come he-ah (here)!" in some made up accent.
Hee hee. It's so impressive that elephants can lug their big bodies around like this!
It was super cute how they held onto each other's tails with their trunks.
Cool! I've never been to the circus. Looks like you had fun!

ReplyDeleteI love elephants. I think they are adorable. I would've loved to have seen them do their cute little tricks.
