Tim and I took the kids to see the circus today. It was a blast! It was kind of interesting because it was their last performance of a two-year tour, and the last performance of their star clown (and star of this show), Bello. We got back pretty late, so I will write more tomorrow, and will try to post pictures too.
This is the third time that we’ve taken Book Boy to the circus. Anybody else enjoy a good old-fashioned circus?
We saw the same show here with Bello earlier this year. It was great…the kids really had a blast. we went early so we could go down and see the performers up close…it was an amazing day for the kids!
Pssst! Dad too!
When my children were small we went to the State Fairgrounds to see the Circus. The kid’s favorite part was when the elephant took a big poop. They are still warped.
MTAE – Glad your kids enjoyed it too! We had intended to get there early enough to do the “open access” pre-show, but snow squalls coupled with a slight miscalcalculation in directions on my part got us there only 20 minutes before the show started. (We usually like to be an hour or so early.)
Rickbo/Dad – I remember that circus. I don’t remember the elephant poop, though!
i remember the poop at the state fair. but then again its the only thing i can remember.
Not only do I not remember shi– I mean poop.. I dont recall EVER going to a circus. If JR is old enough to remember it.. why cant I?
speaking of poop.. my fave story remains to be the one when SNow and Rickbo were on a date at the zoo and a monkey/chimp/gorilla flung poo at them!! (“phil.. if you have any poo, fling it now!!”… my fave quote from Madagascar!!)
Um, I’m pretty sure that just JR, Rickbo and I went. It was some Cub Scout event, Rickbo was chaperoning, and for some reason I got to go to. I was around 14.
That would be why I cant remember shi- I mena the poop. I have always said I have never gone to a circus. Glad Im just not having a memor lapse 🙂
i dont remember it being cub scouts but i do remember ricko, book and i in the collisium at the fairgrounds. we went in the VW rabbit!
Btwind and first were probably to cool to go with us.
