When is the last time you went to the circus?
I was told by my Mother that she took me when I was approximately 4 or 5 years old. I have no independent recollection.
The "memory" I associate with the circus is a faded plastic circus cup with a bright yellow handle. This cup belonged to the McGoverns, family friends. I used it every time I went to their house - which was often.
It did not look exactly like the above but this is as close as I could find under the "vintage circus cup" category on google.
At any rate, DeeDee, Paul's Mother, emailed a couple of weeks ago to invite us with the children to the circus. We accepted and Friday night all enjoyed the "greatest show on earth". Here are a few pics:

| The Big Cats did not appear to relish life as stars of the Big Ring Lots of clawing and growling at their trainer. |
 |
| They no longer sell the plastic cups of my childhood memories - so Fair settled on an elephant snow cone. Maybe it will be good for eating cereal or ice cream this summer. |

| Acrobatics |
 |
| Elephants were fabulous |
 |
| My favorite act of the night - 8 motorcycle riders in the Iron Ball at one time |
 |
| Fair - could not hold off the sleep As she said by the second half - "Mama, it is past my bedtime and I did not have a nap." |
