Circus Spectacular!


Tonight I raised home from school jumped into jeans and headed back out the door.  We zoomed over to Morgan's school for a spaghetti supper fundraiser for homecoming weekend and then headed straight for the circus at Stapler Arena in Leigh University. 

We had a blast as you can see!!!


Where's Waldo?  
I mean...
 Where's Morgan?  Where's RJ?
Dancing with one of the only clowns we saw all night!

Morgan's favorite part were the dancing girls in beautiful dresses!
RJ's favorite part was the elephants... who knew... his favorite animal is an elephant!!

Camels and horses working together around the ring!
Can you see the girls in their hoops hanging from the ceiling?
Look at all the girls on the 'strong man'
All the dogs paw to shoulder!  So cute!
This is blurry... but that silver contraption went around (fast) in a circle... 
It was pretty neat to watch!
Enjoying some ice... the ice ended up being a disaster!  Syrup (DYE) ended up all over Morgan's white skirt, down her legs, and all over RJ's khaki colored pants!  Yikes!


Some gymnastics for Momma above!
Below this man was walking on the ceiling by putting his feet into loops attached to the ceiling... pretty cool... a bit scary!!

This duo was very strong... especially the woman!
ELEPHANTS!

Finale!  
Morgan loved the sparkles that exploded everywhere at the end!



We had a really nice time!  It was a fun evening for all... on top of the ticket price we spent $32.00 for one cotton candy plus hat, and two cold ices in souvenir cups... wahoo... but the kiddo's smiles were all worth it! 

I was a little disappointed they didn't have three things... there were no lions or tigers, no tightrope walkers, and no real clown act!  They had a clown dressed in a tux who did 'funny' things between acts... but NO real clowns except that one you saw that barely came out... I missed the 'clown song' that I always think of when I think of the circus and there was no clown car.  Hm... wonder why?! 

The acts we saw were great!  We all had fun and I hope we can come again, maybe next year!
