A trip to the circus??

For weeks there were free tickets all around Columbus to the circus.  I thought it would be fun to go, seeing that it was on the last day of school.  A little something special.  One sign that it was a "special" circus was that it was to be inside at the armory, but we did not pay attention to the signs and went anyway.  Now when a circus comes to town and is inside the armory you have to sit on the concrete floor and watch the one ring show with a horrible female announcer. 

 

Here she is in the black and green.  The first thing they allow you to do is to come inside the ring with $2 and buy a coloring book, now if your coloring book has a special sticker in the front cover you get to pick a special toy.  Of course all $100 little children beg their parents for $2 and run to buy the lovely coloring book. 

 Then the "clown" comes out.  He randomly picks some 'dads' out of the crowd and has them perform with hispanic music.  Some people laughed. 

One of the main attractions was "spongebob"  He came out walked around the circle and when back behind the curtain.  Of course this was after the horrible female announcer again allowed the children to come back with $2 more dollars to buy the purple star baloon.  I refused the baloon, which Millie thought was abuse and fell out on the floor crying.  I won though. 

The show continued with the clown and his "elephant."  He would wind the "elephant" up and have him walk, then the "elephant" would fall over dead.  This happened about 10 times, before he revealed the "elephant" was actually a dog in a costume.

 There was also this lady who brought two horses out.  This little pony, and an "unicorn."  She was also assisted by Crocodile Dundee.

I became a little concerned when the acrobat show was going on, when these fellas were the "lift" system. 

No matter how bad the show, Millie and Levi had fun. 

Scott on the other hand was ready to go when we arrived, but endured until the end.  Next time we will stick with Barnum and Bailey.
