The Girls First Circus!

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (5)

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Anticipation! Thanks to Mom Central and Feld Entertainment, my family and I were able to attend the circus this year. We had great seats and a super time! You can not use a camera with flash there so I did not get very many usable shots. I did get a video of the very beginning of the show to share with you all.

The show was action packed from start til finish. There were things that I had never seen before. For instance, you know how the people ride the motorcycles in the ball cage? I think usually there is maybe two? Uh, well they blew my mind and fit seven in there! I was on the edge of my seat…it made me nervous and excited all at the same time.

clown The main clown was hilarious! I normally don’t like clowns, but this guy was genuinely funny! The kids laughed so much that night! His name is Tom Dougherty and he was awesome!

Tom describes his clowning style as more improvisational and “a bit edgy,” drawing from his varied artistic influences and earning him the title of “Clown Eccentric”. Tom considers clowning a noble profession, if not something even greater. “A clown is a magical creature, with all the powers of a magical creature.”

The girls loved the man that walked upside down and said he was the favorite performer besides the clown I mentioned above.

You can catch the circus still!

What an awesome year it has been! Thanks to Mom Select, the girls and I are going to See Thomas & Friends Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes To Town.

We will be attending the show in June at the Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie, Texas. I’ve never been to the Nokia before…heck before this year I hadn’t really been anywhere in Texas. Slowly I am getting used to my surroundings and venturing out of my safe little home.

Fun Fact

Thomas is based on the London Brighton and South Coast Railway 0-6-0 E2 with extended side tanks.

You can check the event schedule to find out when Thomas & Friends will be coming to your town!

Visiting the site I found a lot of great activities for the little ones. I already told them about the show, and they are anxious for that time to come. Thomas Live Maybe I should have waited til the show time was close to tell them, but it’s hard for me to keep secrets from them! Thankfully, with the activities on the site I can keep them occupied with Thomas ’til show time!

I will be sure to post about the show after we go and share any pictures we take. In the meantime, head over and see when the show is coming to your town!

Your kids will be thrilled to see one of their favorite characters come to life!
