What kind of circus doesn't have a clown!!!






On a last-minute whim, we took our kids to the Jordan World Circus a week or so ago at the McKay Events Center. All in all a fun evening, however, I didn't think you could have a circus without at least one clown. I mean, come on, what would it really take to have one clown walking around. It wouldn't even have to be one that can make balloon animals. Just a clown with a red ball nose would really make it a circus.
That being said - our kids were entertained and I guess that is what really counts. Nevada and Brighton look totally thrilled to be there in the pictures, but they actually had a good time. Cougar is totally fixated with animals right now, especially elephants and tigers, so he was completely entranced during the animals acts. Before the show and during intermission you could go down and get a ride on one of the elephants, get a pony ride or have your picture taken sitting next to a black bear or a bunch of colored poodles. Cougar just wanted to go and watch the elephants as they walked by!
He would wave to all of the animals as they came into the arena and say "bye-bye" to them as they left. He is such a cool kid. What would we do without him?
Definitely not your Barnum and Bailey get-up, but we still had a lot of fun for a last-minute mid-week family activity!
