Circus weekend

We went to the Big Apple Circus this weekend. I wish I had more pictures of the circus itself, but it's a relatively small arena, and you are really not supposed to take flash photgraphy during the show. We did take a few shots, but the boys really were not looking in most of them. The picture below was the best we could do.

We actually had pretty decent seats. We were in the first row of the second level, so the boys were able to see pretty well. It was a rather impressive show ( There was a pair of juggling acrobats who were doing flips and jumping over each other, all while juggling 8 clubs between them. There was also a guy who could throw huge vases in the air, catch them on his head, and make the vases spin and dance on his head only by twisting his head around.), but unfortunately we had to leave halfway through the show. About two acts into the show, Michael started asking "Is this over yet?", and "How many more minutes?". In any case, we had a good time while we were there. While we didn't get many good circus pictures, we did get some decent pictures on the train rides back and forth from the circus.

( Note: We made sure Michael was sitting down on the subway, but Ruth wanted to take one shot with Michael standing up holding the pole ).

This shot below was taken on the New Jersey Transit train back to Edison. Peter was wiped out after a long day.

The shot below was actually taken two weeks ago when we were waiting on line to see Santa. However, it was such a cute shot of Peter that I couldn't help but post it.

I'll try to have a more text-based post soon.

Text-based or photo-based, zee blogs are filled with YAY!

It's a shame you guys had to leave the circus early, but as long as whatever you saw was fun, I guess that's all that matters =)
