Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

Sitting with Papa and Grandma Hofmann, waiting for the circus to start.
My little clown!
Just goes to show, great minds think alike! We weren't the only Oakdaleans to go to the circus. The Nunns and several other Oakdale school faculty were in attendance. It made the experience even that much more enjoyable to watch it with friends! Mrs. Nunn just happened to be my Kindergarten teacher, I just loved her!
Some clowns at the circus.
These trampoline acrobats were so fun! They looked like flames bouncing all over the place.
The real reason we went to the circus.... cotton candy!!! Like Grandma, like daughter, like granddaughter... we all love it! It was really good!
Emma found a clown nose so of course we got Uncle Jarom to model it for us! What a good sport!
One of the body strength groups. We couldn't believe some of the things they were doing.
These brothers from Ukraine were unreal! They're body strength was unbelievable! I think they might have been my favorite act.
The elephants on parade. Emma loved watching them hold each other's tales.
There were seven bikers buzzing around like angry hornets in that sphere of death. They started with three, and that made me nervous! I wonder how many times they crash? Never seen anything quite like it, or heard anything like it either.
Yes, there are three girls in there! One for each color. They were amazingly limber. Amazing, but slightly disturbing to watch them escape from that cube.
Lots of beautiful tigers doing tricks. None of them seem very pleased by it though.
