Circ-du-Cincinnati

The famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey (audio in link - you're welcome mum) came to town last week. Our friends Jeremy and Tiffany invited us to go and see it. I, being a circus newbie, was expecting a big top complete with bearded lady. Apparently they do these things in arenas these days and the ladies with facial hair are relegated to "specialist" sideshows.

Any thoughts I had about extortion of animals was quickly replaced by extortion of sucker customers like me as I ponied up ten bucks for a bag of cotton candy and a goofy hat, Izzy loved it though, which is important, I guess.



Elephants doing tricks, which is why we where there, right? This was a favorite for Isabelle.



There may be trouble ahead, Izzy and JJ were getting a little to friendly for my liking.



The hat was a hit, not so much for the cotton candy. A little to messy for Izz.



Us.



All of us.
