The Circus.
What a wonderful place.
Where else can you see,
an Elephant painting a picture,
a motorcycle on a tight rope,
clowns being silly with bubbles,
a lady twisting in the sky by her hair,
a man that can sit on his back,
animal right protesters,
and eat a sucker as big as your head?

I guess they weren't kidding when they called it 'The Greatest Show on Earth'.

Can you believe it, at the age of 40 I have never been to a circus. My dad refused (animal lover) and now Hunter refuses to take the kids (he is such a big greeny). Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Is there a child anywhere who doesn't love the circus?!!!
I'm afraid of the circus.
But not of a giant sucker!
Going to the circus seems to be a thing of the past here. It is very rare if one ever comes our way.
We have cousins who are circus performers...maybe you were at their circus! The whole family is involved...they do high wire and uni-cycle acts.
We took Jack to the circus a few years ago and had a blast...I can't wait to go again!
I remember going to the circus when I was younger- I always loved it! I never got one of the huge lollipops though! ;)
that is one serious sucker...
how fun!
Ohh that reminds me, the circus is in town here...lol
I am not a big fan of the circus. Clowns...they scare me. Eek!
But, I will admit, the way you describe it it sure does sound like fun!
Happy Wednesday to you!
My kids haven't been to a circus yet... I might just have to change that.
My kids have never been b/c my husband doesn't like the circus!! He thinks it's cruel..I'l have to sneak them to one!!
I used to love the circus when I was little. And I still love gianormous suckers!
My girls always loved when the circus came to town. They would have killed for one of those suckers too!
Wow I don't even think I could finish a lollipop that big!
and CRAZY expensive!!!! we used to go before we had three kids!
We went in May and had a great time, I'm glad you did too!
It's a crazy awesome time, isnt' it?
I love the circus!
great pictures. we took lil' D to the circus last year. he had a great time. first time i ever payed 12 bucks for cotton candy, but we had to have that wizards hat. i do feel bad for the animals though. i want them to be free. happy WW and take care.
Cant even remember the last time I went to the circus!
Holy crap that sucker is huge!!! I remember getting a sucker like that when I was a kid and I'l lick it so much my tongue would get cut!
Oh man I miss the circus!
Wow, I am surprised by some comments some never been or are against. but hey, that's what makes the world go 'round. We took Tristan last year and he enjoyed it.
fun! i'd love to take my kids to the circus but i'm entirely too scared of clowns!! maybe i can just buy them a sucker and call it good!
Kaish and I and the neighbor went to the circus last year and had the most marvelous of times : ) Such fun. I didn't buy the suckers but I did buy flashing swords!
Clowns. I can't do clowns. Love all the rest of it, though. Especially suckers as big as my head.
I admit- never been to the circus. Maybe it is time!?
I got to ride an elephant at the circus once. It really was the greatest.
Love the photos. That's one huge sucker.
I would love to go to a real circus... The ones that tour the Caribbean always seem a little seedy, and I can always imagine the animals escaping! :-)
They're still magical and mystical though..
Love the pictures. Those suckers are every kids dream.
I haven't seen a lollipop that big in years....
Woah! That lollipop IS as big as his head. I haven't been to the circus in ages. I SO need to take my kids!!
i love the circus... so bummed it doesn't come to my neck of the woods.... though i'd be a bit scared if it did! that lollipop is fantastic - my kids would seriously eat that until they puked.
That sucker is awesome!
I would love to go to the circus!
I've never been to the circus...how crazy is that??
Looks like a good time was had...that lollipop is huge!!
BTW, I got your e-mail but everytime I try to e-mail you back it doesn't go through. Or maybe it is and I'm just not seeing the little check by the replied box.
I have never been to the circus, but these pictures make me want to go!
Fun!
I went to the circus when I was, oh, five? It's been awhile.
Next time take the sucker as big as your head and beat the crap out of the protesters. The circus rules.
I remember getting a sucker like that when I was little...pure joy :)
He looks so cute with it!
