Barnum & Bailey Circus

I know, I know... it's been a LONG time since I blogged... don't shoot me! I told you this is all new to me. So, just be patient... sheesh! :)


In June, we went to the always entertaining Barnum & Bailey circus. I have always gone to this circus growing up and this year was one of the best that I remember. It's still the same dare devil stunts but with a fun twist. There was a main character named "Bello" that was secretly "in love" with one of the pretty lady performers. Bello would make appearances in between most acts and would even perform several of the stunts in order to get close to his love. It was a cute story to watch. I don't know who enjoyed it more... me or the boys. Kaleb says his favorite part is the lions. Kameron's favorite is the clowns. That doesn't surprise me!

Kaleb loves to take pictures and he was in charge of the camera when we first got to the Ford Center downtown. He is the one that took the lovely picture of us. See the upward perspective? LOL. The second picture is one I took of the boys trying on circus clothes. Before the circus started, they had alot of fun things for the kids to do in the arena... ride an elephant, be in an interactive show with the clowns, watch an elephant paint a picture (for real!), etc.







So, I'll leave you with some parting shots that Kaleb & I took of some of the circus acts. We can't wait until the circus next year!
