When any circus makes a stop in a town that doesn't show up on most maps, you should be suspicious...or as Nick puts it, you shouldn't miss it! We went to this little circus and I don't think I will ever forget it. It is put on by a man and his family. One of the highlights was the monkey that stole all of the kids cotton candy right out of their hands. We have some pretty good pictures of Trey's reaction to this. Another great part was when the ringmaster asked who wants to pet the snake and then announces that only the first little boy gets to pet the snake for free. All of the rest of the kids have to pay to touch it. The show was mainly performed by his three children that were between 14-and 10. They were the most flexible children I have every seen but it makes you wonder if they can read. The family had two younger children as well. They had a two year old that ran around in clown shoes and then we saw him licking his fingers and eating right out of the cotton candy maker. He was also helping himself to popcorn from that machine as well. The family also had an infant in a play pen for the show that feasted on popcorn and drank Hawaiian punch from a bottle! It was almost embarrassing to watch! The kids had a ball though and the members of our group who did not attend were filled in on everything they missed. What an experience!

That sounds fun...a little crazy, but fun. I would not be a fan of seeing the little kid licking his fingers and then eating out of the cotton candy bowl! If we ever go to something like this I just might have to skip that treat :)
Yeah, we don't go to those circuses and now I know why we stay clear of them. I'm sure it was entertaining though.
