Back to the Circus

The Shrine Circus was back in town so we decided to check it out again. This was Brady's second time to go... he says he remembers going last year but who knows. It didn't start until 7:30 which is B's bed time but we figured we'd give it a try.

The elephants seemed to be Brady's favorite. This is Bo... they say he is the most famous circus elephant in the world... not sure who decides that but whatever.

Bo can do a handstand which just seems completely unnatural... sorry this shot is from the back but the poor guy couldn't hold his pose long enough for the pedestal to turn all the way around.

At intermission, Brady was looking pretty tired so we decided to call it a night. On our way out we ran into Miss Norma from school (she works at the venue) and she said she would send a clown up to meet Brady so we went back to the box for a little longer.
Sure enough, Mr. Splatter came to meet B.
Brady talked to him, gave him high fives and even compared shoe sizes with him. Mr. Splatter was super nice and even let Brady have his jumbo clown coins. Brady held onto them all night!

At that point, we figured we should stay for the second half. Two guys jumped motorcycles over things and did flips...
A man was shot out of a canon (see the little blur across the screen? that's the guy)... it was pretty cool.

It was all over a little after 10:30... and Brady fell asleep as soon as I put him in the car... notice Mr. Splatter's coins in his hand :)
