It's a circus!



The circus was in town a couple weeks ago.  And an old-school circus it was -- one tent, set up for the weekend in a vacant lot.. Popcorn and cotton candy to eat.  Camel rides during intermission..

It was here the same time last year and we said to ourselves, "maybe next year."  Now, at 2 1/2, this was the right time for JR to see his first circus.  He really liked it -- he was beaming as he sat in our laps and watched camels, tigers, horses, a clown, a tight-rope walker, and a trained porcupine!  Can't beat that!  JR was clearly enjoying the first half, but lost his focus a bit after intermission -- running up and down the ramp next to our seats became more interesting than the trained tigers.  Go figure.  But all in all it was good family fun.
