We recently went to the circus. I was browsing KSL and saw that the famous Barnum and Bailey circus was coming to town. I wasn't sure how often they came to SLC so I thought that I should take advantage and bought some really great seats. Noelle was pretty bored through most of it. I don't think she understood the "wow factor." I tried right :) They let the kids see the animals outside before the show. The mommy elephant had just had her baby.
Here is a great link you can copy and paste.

It is the 10 most famous freak side shows. I guess it is sort of sad. The circus has been around for 150 years so these are really old. My favorite is the "Half Lady" in her victorian corset.

That's funny she thought it was boring. Maybe it was so FANTASTICAL that it just didn't seem real. I'm sure she loved the baby elephant though. So cute. I like her doctor costume by the way.
That mama elephant sure has an eye on you! Nellies sure did like the popcorn though. Very cute picture.
I really want to see a picture of the clown costume. The nose is adorable. Did Pete have a terrifying experience with a clown when he was young?
Dang you should have taken me instead of Nellies! They just came through here before going to SLC and I wanted to see them so bad! She looks great in her doctor getup!
So cute! Her costume looked great too. I want to see a pic of the clown one too haha. What kind of clown is not kid friendly? Silly Peter.
How fun Re, I've always wanted to take Ollie. I could really see him getting a kick out of all of those tricks. Cute Nellie's, she's such a big girl now. We can't wait to see you guys for Christmas! We are going to Hawaii this weekend so if you or Petey want anything, let me know!
