Circus Circus!

The circus came to town again this year, so of course we went to see it! It's becoming a summer time tradition and is always lots of fun for the whole family. This year we went early and got to meet some of the performers. Jackson enjoyed hanging out with this goofy clown.

He was super nice and even let J wear his black hat.

Then this clown taught Jackson how to do a cool trick.

He successfully balanced a spinning plate with one finger!

Maddie and Circus Girl both modeling their brightly colored tutus. She was a cute girl, so Jackson jumped in the pic, too, sans tutu.

We also got to see these juggling clowns before the show began, as well as watching lots of other acts perform. Then it was time for the big show!

Jackson got his big ol' bag of popcorn and was ready to rock.

I'm not sure what was a bigger hit with Maddie...popcorn or the show. The girl ate popcorn for a solid hour!

The tigers were one of our favorite acts...

as were these high-flying jugglers.

Ticket to the Circus: $15

Popcorn and Coke: $20

Light-up Circus Toy: $22

The look on Jackson's face during the show: Priceless

Before we knew it, it was time for the finale.

We can't wait to go back again next year!
