It's circus time...

A long time ago the circus came to town. I don't how long for and even forgot when. The about time was probably like........3 maybe 4 months ago? We had a totally awesome time and wouldn't have even known if Gil's friend didn't tell us.

Gil had talked to his friend earlier in the day and asked what they were doing? He said nothing much but that they were going to the circus that night. Circus? What circus? So we looked it up on line and lo and behold it was their last weekend here. We last minute decided to go and take Dezi and it was awesome. There are too many pictures to even decide which ones to post so I will tell you the gist of what happened and maybe later post a video.

They had....

of course the man on the flying trapeze, clowns, a couple that did a REAL shooting arrow trick/s (like the real shooting trigger arrow thingy), girls and a guy that spun on ropes, a balancing man that also spun metal 3-D shapes on his chin, a contortionist (spelling?) , a Chinese man that spun those super expensive vases on his head, a guy riding a motorcycle on a rope and the girl doing tricks from a small trapeze hanging from the motorcycle and other things that I just can't remember. It was all so good and Dezi was amazed...

As were we.

This pic is during half time but they still had everything out and was setting up for the next acts but this is how he looked the whole night. Just staring.

These are the girls and the guy is in the blue of course that twirled on these fabric things. It was super beautiful. And one girl from this circus is from Hawaii. She graduated from Punahou. Woop, woop! I love this circus and would totally go see it again. They were supposed to have animals but ours was the last showing that night and I guess by then the animals weren't cooperating. Or so they said.

We went to the Barnum & Bailey Circus in Denver and it was amazing! Glad you had a good time...Kelly mentioned that you guys are moving? Did the house go through?

That looks so fun! Sometimes the last minute plans are the best.

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much
