Circus

Kate and I went with a few friends to the circus last week. It was fun to have a night our with her. What makes it so fun is that she loves it. She loves to tell Dad "just the girls are going and the boys are staying home". The circus was interesting to watch. I just can't help but wonder if the elephants really like coming out and laying down and then sitting on those big stands and putting their feet on each others backs. I won't dwell on it too much (until next time the circus comes to town). It really was a good show and Kate had fun. Plus I think Barnum and Bailey do a lot of good for animals and I imagine the trainers have to treat the animals well for them to trust them. I'll tell myself that unless someone tells me otherwise. I think Kate's favorite part was the cat running around and walking on a tight rope and the acrobats. I enjoyed most of it but realized I'm too much of a worry wart when the motorcycle guys riding around in the metal ball came out. They had 7 riders in there - amazing yet very nerve-racking for me to watch. Each time they brought one more rider out I could hardly stand to watch, I just knew someone would mess up and they'd all get hurt and we would have to watch. Luckily they all came riding out safe. Here are a few pic's, not great lighting but you get the idea.
