The Circus Came to Town!

We went to the circus this afternoon with my friend Niccole and her family!
Here's Michael, Carson, and Cade (Alex was asleep on Niccole's shoulder at this point)!
Niccole and Michael say cheese when we get to the seats!Here's Mrs. Niccole, Mr. Mike, Alex, and Michael!

When it started up, Alex covered his ears for a minute! I thought this was cute!

Cade and Carson were very excited that it was starting!

They actually watched a lot of it intently! (Much more than I thought they would!)

This guy was walking "way up high" all over this spinning contraption and inside it like a little hamster. I kept thinking he was going to fall. Of course it was after the motorcycles rode around and around in a cage together and crashed into each other. Yes, they actually wrecked. I don't think that was supposed to happen. The driver that wasn't hurt pulled the bike off the other and he got up and waved like nothing happened. Crazy!

The tight rope guys were cool!

Cade and Carson liked watching the elephants during intermission!

At the end of the circus, I asked each child individually what was his favorite part of the circus!

Here's the answers of the children in the order they appear in this picture:

Cade - "Valentine /BaentIn/", Carson - "I CarCar", Alex - "My favorite part was Penny." Michael - "The Elephants!" By the way Niccole - I think I heard the /f/ sound on favorite!
Such a handsome group of boys!

The children decided to run circles around Niccole until time to go back in the big tent!

We saw camels and elephants and dogs and ponies and people do lots of tricks!

This man decided to be shot out of a cannon!
Here's Michael's cute reaction (hand over mouth)! After the man was shot straight at us into a big net, he turned to his Daddy and said, "I do not want to see that movie again!"

Here's the Big Top from the outside when it was all over! The boys had a blast!
