Going to the circus...

Zirka Circus is currently in town - they're in Hamilton for nearly four weeks. They've been cruising around Hamilton putting their signs up on whoever's fence will let them put them up. Being on a main road, they asked us if we would let them put one up - Mel was a little hesitant because we don't usually let people put stuff on our fence. But then they offered a free family pass to the circus... and we were sold. There was no way we would have considered going otherwise - we don't have that much money lying around for something like the circus! Ben was as excited about the circus as I've ever seen him get about anything - he was bouncing off the walls!

The show itself was pretty good - lots of cool stuff like clowns and juggling and balancing and swinging from the top of the tent. The kids certainly enjoyed it, although Naomi was too tired to think much of the second half - she ended up falling asleep.

I'd be happy to recommend it - even though we wouldn't have had the money to go if we hadn't got the free pass. A handful of photos are at flickr.
