Circus

The Circus is in town!

We went with our friends the Petersons and their 4 daughters to the evening show. There are some forest fires creating the haze of smoke in the background and making the pics less clear, sorry.

The tigers were great. It is fun to watch such powerful animals paw at the trainer, yet do exactly as he commands. Also a little sad that they have to live in cages.

These dogs can really jump! They got a chihuahua out like it was going to jump the bar, but it only ran under it.

This guy had amazing strength and balance. Impressive!

Then there were the acrobatic rope swinging girls. It looked fun.

The closing number was a mother daughter pair of elephants doing tricks. We didn't think elephants were so nimble.

They seemed to enjoy the tricks more than giving rides to kids.

The circus people were smart to offer the kids free cotton candy if they filled up a garbage bag at the end, so the kids ran around cleaning up garbage. We love it when something new comes to town.
