Big Apple Circus
So excited! We are going to The Big Apple Circus today!
This is our fourth year in a row and the kids look forward to it. The Big Apple Circus is a traveling circus from New York that comes and sets up shop here for a couple weeks in the fall. If you live on the east coast, check their tour schedule to see if they come to your town.
This is a perfect size circus for little children - based more on feats of human skill and humor than on wild animals. They usually have cute dogs and cats and birds and sometimes horses, but nothing big and dangerous. Lots of high wire and trapeze and balancing/tumbling/trampoline type stuff. Blended in with a new intelligent theme each year and live music - very entertaining for adults also.
It's really nice to have traditions - things your family does each year that the kids can look forward to. Not to mention us parents!

Barbara,
Sounds like a lot of fun. I never really liked going to the big circus because I always had a sense of sadness for the animals. This one sounds animal friendly and intimate enough that the kids won't feel overwhelmed.
Enjoy the circus.

Dear Barbara,
It's been so long since you posted, I fear you have gone off to join the circus!
