Camels and Baboons and an Elephant, Oh My!



Tonight we hit the big top!

For the first time EVER, I went to the circus! There were brothers riding bikes in a ball, and a girl on an elephant, and husband and wife jugglers and even a woman on the silks! The area was full of noise and smells and lights and kids. Circus Mondo (www.circusmondo.ca), from Montreal, Quebec, joins performers (and animals) from all over the world. I can still taste the popcorn!







There's something about just about anything performed in the air. I fell in love with aerial dancing during our honeymoon trip to Disney World, and while watching Cirque du Soleil's Solstrom. Whether a trapeze, on the silks, or just a wire, there's something so magical and beautiful about it, I've actually been brought to tears.




Plus, there were camel and elephant rides for the kids, brothers on bikes in a ball, dazzling costumes, a hula dancer, jugglers, and the smell of popcorn and cotton candy, of course!!
