Saturday at the Circus





Steve's parents took me, Steve, Spencer & Lily to the circus on Saturday. The Shriners put it on every year. This is our second year seeing the show. Some of the highlights:

There was a David Lee Roth looking Big Cat guy. He had on black spandex pants with some side fringe, his hair - a 1980's looking blond shag, and his dance moves consisted of high kicks, turns, and leaps as he 'dazzled' us with his ability to control the angry tiger beasts.

The contortionist was ridiculously good - at one point she bent her body in half (legs over head)and held herself up by her teeth.

The ring master - a woman - was annoying as ever with her drawn out announcer voice - innnnn...creee.......diiiiiibbbbllllllllllleeeeeeeee.

Behind us a grandma felt it necessary to loudly give a play by play to her granddaughter - who was old enough to sit and watch it on her own without the added drama.

The elephants were impressive - if not a little sad. I feel sorry for them. The hot pretzel was good. The kids had fun and we ate at the German place on the way home - they had a cute polka band playing and crazy good apple strudel. Not a bad Saturday.
