Circus Circus!

The Haskell bunch had a great time at the circus!!
Daddy really didn't want his picture taken with the nose...but I got one anyway! WooHoo! :)
Christian and Mimi watching
And here we are with the lovely lady and her elephant...
Man, that isn't right in any shape or form--those contortionists rocked!
This is what Caroline did throughout the show...poor Pappaw's tired arms :)
It was time to go...no more bubbles :(
More bubble fun!
They were wanting the audience to sympathize with them when John took the bubble wand away
And here they are "getting into trouble" by the ringmaster, John, for blowing bubbles
Tom asked her to twirl around the ring with her finger on her head
This is Caitlin with Tom the clown at the beginning of their act
The gymnast group--I think they were from Hungary
John and the kiddos at the pre-circus show...it was a meet & greet


The Haskell family was blessed with the opportunity to go the circus last night. Mimi and Pappaw were kind enough to take us, and we had a BLAST! We got VIP seats down on the floor; we were only a few feet from the all of the action. It was the Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus, and it had cool stuff like horses, an elephant, trapeze artists, contortionists, clowns, and much more!
The highlight of the evening was when the clown, Tom, picked Caitlin to participate in his act!! She was so cute! In their act, Caitlin and Tom wanted to blow bubbles, but the ringmaster, John, kept coming up to them and taking their bubble wands away. Tom made Caitlin do funny things like twirl around the ring, dance, and interact with the audience. She was such a trooper, even though she admitted afterward that she was horribly embarrassed. So, here are the pics that we got of it all---enjoy!!

Oh, these pictures are so good. I'm so glad Cati got to make her circus debut. She performed like a pro. What fun a circus is. That's a memory they will keep.
