Today we took the kids to see the Circus. I LOVE the circus!! We got front row seats and got to take in all the action, up close and personal.
Here are they trained dogs. Hmmm... wonder if we could get them to spend a little time with Trixie?
Before the show started, we got to go down on the floor for a "pre-show" show. The elephant, named Asia, painted a masterpiece while we watched. After she painted, they fed her a whole loaf of bread. It looked like a tiny little bite of bread instead of an entire loaf!
Once the show got started, we got to see acrobats, tigers, clowns, and horses, to name a few.
Since we were seated on the front row, a security guard came around and asked us if we would like to be a part of the circus!! He gave us special "Circus Celebrity" passes, and we got to go out and ride on the circus train during the big Circus Parade!! It was awesome!! The whole theme of the circus was "Bello-bration", because the main clown is named "Bello". He has very tall, very orange hair. Everyone in the parade, including the performers, the elephants, the dogs, and even the audience members wore big, tall, orange hair, just like Bello. Here is a photo of Bello, riding in on the elephant.
And here is a picture of the Killian girls, riding in the parade with our orange wigs. Except for Grace... she was not ABOUT to wear that wig. No way, no how. But, what do you expect? She's her own person. We were just glad that she got on the train without making a scene!! :-)
The circus was great!! We loved it!!
