The Circus Comes to Town!

The Carson and Barnes Circus is in LOCKHART today.  We were  so excited to get to visit the circus grounds and take a peek behind the scenes of the circus as they prepare for today's shows.  Circus times are 4:30 and 7:30pm.  Your child will be bringing home a free ticket to attend the performance.



We had a great time visiting the circus grounds!  We saw a llama, a camel, pygmy goats, a zeonkey ( a cross between a zebra and a donkey), and a pygmy hippo.  One of the circus ladies told us about each animal.

The pygmy hippo was our favorite!

Thumbs up for the animal show!

We also watched some future circus performers practice their acts.  We know that if you practice at something you get better and better!
Ta duh! How cool they are!

We loved hearing the elephant trainer tell us about the elephants!  We learned that they weigh around 10,000 pounds!  We learned about their skin and also how the hair on their body helps let them know what is around them.  

The elephant even showed us one of his tricks.
We loved the elephants!

 Silly clowns!
