Camilla's dad picked us up from 6th grade club and we went to their house where we played, hung out and ate dinner together. After dinner, we bicycled to the circus where we met up with a couple other friends. As we were talking, I noticed a huge elephant with kids riding it. Camilla noticed it too and asked her dad if we could ride on it... SCORE!
I rode an elephant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pictures hopefully to come form Camilla's dad- didn't have a camera or my mom with me to take pictures... Sorry! D-: )
We then settled down with our candy and watched the show. There were tightrope walkers, salsa dancers, little ponies, sled dogs, three kids flipping, two comedian dancers, a SUPER flexible lady, a clown, the horse trainer with his horses and quite a few more. Flipps, jokes, horses trotting, people dancing, music playing- wow, it was all so magical.
I'm sorry but I can't remember the acts specifically or the order, so I am just going to try my best...
Tightrope Walking:
There were two men in really cool glow-in-the-dark costumes who crawled up to the tightrope. They first warmed up by walking back and fourth and then later on started dancing. After the dancing came the jump roping and in this part one man fell of the tightrope! *insert scary music...*
Don't worry too much, it was just a false alarm. I mean he did fall but saved himself by grabbing onto the rope. Did I mention that there was no net under and it was about 10 or so meters high!
Clown and His Ponies:
The first thing that happened in this act was the clown driving in on his motorcycle with a small white pony in the passenger side seat. Crack up! There was a trailer in the back with supposedly "2" more ponies in it. The clown opened up the trailer and out came 2 little black ponies. The clown got the 3 little pony to start prancing around him and the next thing you know is another white pony come walking out of the trailer and so on and so fourth. I think you get the idea. By the 9th little black/white pony everyone was on the ground (not really) cracking up... So CUTE! Then (drumroll please) a (keep it going) donkey came out, but unlike the others it did not want to join the prancing little circle, but instead preferred to eat. Later the clown got him into the circle managing not to get hurt even while all the nee-ha and kicking were going on (not!).
Dressage Horses and Salsa Lady:
On came the Salsa Lady in her bright red outfit stamping her way, powerfully, through. She danced very well and with much power and sharpness- I was proud to see a lady doing it. About an 8th way through, 3 white dressage hoses cam in and began circling her while dancing as well. Thy went sideways and backwards lifting their muscle hard legs, gracefully, as they did so. There way turning and standing on 2 legs and much more that I wish you could have also seen.
There was also these acts (please send me and email if you want to hear about a specific one):
- Entrance of the clown
- Flexible lady
- Arial Silk
- Flipping boys
- White horses
- Husky dogs
- Elephant act
- Comedian dancers
- Clown and his pony
- More... Can't remember the names right now
Was the circus in Lynge ? It sounds like it was fairly large. Were they Danish or from somewhere else ? Did you get the name ? I still can't visualize how they got so many horses in the trailer. Don't forget to take your photographer next time !
ReplyDeleteWas the circus in Lynge?
ReplyDeleteYes.. It is a little ways from the gas station by Glad Gaard.
It sounds like it was fairly large.
It was! Moster Lone was telling me that it would be a small one but when I told her about all the acts and animals she decided that she was wrong!
Were they Danish or from somewhere else?
The ringmaster was Danish but the rest were all mixed, though some did still come from Denmark.
Did you get the name?
I believe that it was just called Circus.
I still can't visualize how they got so many horses in the trailer!
They hooked the trailer up to the backstage door but I think that it still looked funny and cute!
Sorry, it is actually called Dannebro, which you know is named after the Danish flag... There are also some pictures that Mom took as she was driving by!
DeleteI remember going to a circus in Denmark once!! I was pretty little and I remember the tightrope walker almost fell, too. At first I thought it was just part of the show, but we quickly realized that no, it wasn't. Thankfully, our tightrope walker also caught himself and wasn't injured.
ReplyDeleteOMG! You seem to be having WAY more fun than moi in good ol' CA. I sooo want to spend a year in somewhere foreign, with 6th grade clubs (BTW, what are they exactly?) and circuses. If you didn't have to speak Danish, I would take the next flight to Denmark!
ReplyDeleteSchool is okay. In English/Social Studies we're writing myths, and in Science we're learning about learning styles.
Wish I was there! No school clubs, circuses, etc. Maybe I should start a school club... Are the boys there just as annoying as the ones in CA?
Hugs hugs hugs,
Chloe
Chloe, it would be fun if you were here too! The school club info is above... The club is only for grades 4-6. The 7-9th graders just do something else.
DeleteThe boys here are also annoying but not in the same way. They are in their own soccer and boy stuff world while the girls are in their own. The only annoying things that have happened to me were:
1) Go hit with apples from trees all over campus
2) Use LOTs of cuss words... Says the "F" word all the time but are stopping slowly now that I explained what a big word it is...
I'm enjoying your writing. Think the blog is a great way of becoming acquainted with your own "voice" (woooo, big word!). I could see/hear the tightrope walkers and the clowns and ponies. (Drum roll, please!) When you're relaxed and having fun, so do we.
