As I mentioned a few days ago, Shawn won some tickets to the Circus. We won 4 tickets, but we never could find any other people to go with us. It's a shame those extra 2 tickets had to go to waste! We had a pretty good time! I don't remember ever going to the circus as a child, but Mom has informed me that we went several times. It was fun, although the circus really is more fun for children. The kids sitting near us reminded me of how I would have behaved at the circus when I was little. They were laughing so hard at the clowns doing silly stuff...that would have totally been me! Haha!
Since we were at the circus we had to get popcorn and cotton candy! I also remember cotton candy tasting better when I was a kid but it came with a cool hat (Shawn is wearing the hat in some later pictures).
The elephants had pretty cool clothes in the opening number...and it really was an opening number. There was a lot of singing and dancing. Seemed kinda odd! There was one whole big musical thing in the middle that was designed to remind the kids not to try this stuff at home! It was kinda of strange...
Welcome to the Circus!
These acrobats were hanging from some long pieces of material. They were interesting.
These dogs were awesome! Best part of the show thus far. I was pretty happy to get a shot of the poodle in mid-jump! They had a second ring of dogs on the other side doing some cool stuff too. They even had a slide :)
This was an interesting twist on the trapeze. It was actually pretty cool looking, although not quite as cool as the original type of trapeze. This did look significantly safer though! The people had the weirdest outfits on though. The girls were wearing this plastic blue hat things that were like wigs or something. It was kinda creepy.
We didn't get a very good view of the tight rope thing though because of where they had it positioned. It looked like it was pretty cool though.
They did two different things with shooting someone out of a canon. The first one was stupid...totally an illusion and no one really got shot out. The second one was cool though. They actually shot two women out of side by side canons all the way across the room. It was pretty sweet!
Me and Shawn with his cool wizard hat that he wore all the way home on the train!
Shawn couldn're resist getting a snow cone...what a cute little bowl it came in though, right?
These acrobats were pretty awesome! This guy was doing a flip through the flaming ring! I think this was Shawn's favorite part!
The elephants were awesome! The ladies dancing around were kind of stupid though, but Shawn liked them. Shocking!
The tigers were pretty scary. I was pretty sure that the trainer guy was gonna get mauled! The tigers were swiping thier paws at the guy and showing their teeth. He survived though!
These guys were last but they were my favorite. They were so awesome! One of them did a thing at the end that was pretty scary...but he pulled it off and it was cool!
The Grand Finale! 
We had a great time although I think we'll hold off from going again until we have kids that are old enough to enjoy it.
