The Circus

I was lucky enough to take a trip to the circus this weekend with my wonderful family, nephews sister and brother in law. I didn't know what to expect since I've never been to one before but they certainly are full of action at every turn. No wonder people use the word circus to describe things that are noisy, loud, crazy and out of control because that is exactly what it was!

The horses! When these guys came out onto the floor Parley instantly looked over at me to get my attention and eagerly pointed to them. Of course, Aunt Beepers must not miss the horses. I didn't realize that even my little nephews knew me as the horse lover, some things will never change.

That's 18 tigers in total, some white and some yellow.  Which is pretty amazing to see such a wild and smart animal close up. They even knew German.....or whatever the trainer guy was speaking to them in.

Tight rope walkers.....and yep they made it across just fine.

The cannon shot across the entire floor.

Elephants too!
