circus!

a couple weeks ago steve worked on a machine that the circus was using. as a thank you he got some coupons for discounted tickets. and they were some pretty darn good seats too. betsy, tanner, and cris joined us for all the fun. and i'm too lazy to arrange the pictures in the correct order but basically they're all arranged backwards, give or take. enjoy!

the elephants are my favorite part. so there's more pictures of them. they're pretty flipping sweet!

this is the baby elephant that's a little over a year old. his name is unfortunately barack. but he is cute so i couldn't hold it against him, not like he chose the name anyways...

tightrope walkers. at one point they made it completely diagonal and they climbed up it. quite impressive.

this is the strong man guy. he's laying down and his legs are holding up the barbells. i think he was holding 1800 + lbs for a few seconds.

tigers!

doing crazy things in the air!

this was technically the beginning but whatever. this is the procession in...

and a few videos for your entertainment

and just as an fyi: i forgot to bring my camera to albuquerque so i don't have pictures of the week. however, i am sure there are some betsy and laree will ever so willingly post eventually
