Clowning Around @ the Circus

The Nickel Family Circus Adventure!

Last Saturday we made it home from Cali just in time to make it to the Ringling Bro/Barnum and Baily Cirus. We weren't sure if the Monkey would like it. You know how toddlers are. Today they love it tomorrow they don't. SO FICKLE! Well fortunately for us he loved it! He had such a great time. It all started with the pre show an hour before the circus stated.

During the preshow all the acts came out and gave us a preview of what was ahead. The best part is it was all interactive so we didn't have to tell MJ to sit still, Bonus!

Teaching the kids how to do tricks with the Chinese Yoyo.  



Limbo!





 Then the elephants came out. At first MJ was a little startled since he has never seen one up close. They are kinda on the big side. Then he warmed up to the idea of seeing an elephant this close and then got really excited.


Ready to start dancing!


Mark Kept starting and stopping the video accidently!

  

Sorry, Don't know how to rotate. Just tilt your head to the left.

More Elephants Pictures!

And you think your ass is big?!?

Hit the lights the show is about to start.

MJ ran into his pal Tucker during the intermission

POPCORN! 

 I really need to get a better camera. Mine is not made for action shots. They all come out blurry.

 I can't get MJ potty trained, but these people can get elephants to do this? Where's the justice? 



I remember when tight rope walkers did their act high up in the air.
The insurance must not cover that anymore.



Still trying to get over my fear of clowns! CREEPY!

This was a great way to end our week. Another great family memory for us.
