Fully Charged

The circus came to town this year with it's title "Fully Charged," and it was all that! There is something so magical about spending this time with family, that makes me so happy to have kids. We took them last year and I'm pretty sure they liked it. This year, I KNOW they LOVED it! Reed was jumping in and out of his seat the whole time, and even though I couldn't really see Nolan the whole time, he couldn't stop talking about how cool it was.
We got there early to go down on the floor and see some of the entertainment up close and personal. Oops, this entertainer is always on a mission to make us laugh!

This twirly-mc-bend-a-lot was swilling 10 or more hula hoops on her body in all different directions. How do they teach that!?!

Asia, the elephant, is an acclaimed artist and actually paints pictures with a large brush in her trunk. Here she is after her picture was completed getting a treat of a whole loaf of bread! No atkins diet here!

I don't know where we picked up this clown :o)

I am always so amazed at the big cats. I can't believe this bald guy stands in the ring with 10 big, carnivorous, large toothed, razor-sharp clawed felines and tells THEM what to do. Mind boggling...

Thanks, J&G for such a fun day at the circus! I always forget that Grandy worked in the circus several years back in the band. It's nice to hear firsthand that he witnessed the animals being treated very well and were taken very good care of. We love Ringling Brothers!
