Ringling Bros.

A few weeks ago Nikos and Marco had their Circus Class finale. Let's just say I was beyond nervous about this and was prepared for the worst. Despite this fact I still invited everyone and their brother to watch Nikos' show.

Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. I was pretty shocked. The performance involved everyone in the school but Taki only took pics of Nikos class (so you miss the really cool stuff that the older kids did. - So cool that both Mason and Maile asked if they had classes for kids their age.)

The class came out as little tigers. My tiger is the 5th one on the right in the orange and black shirt (s0 convenient that we have lots of Giants wear.) Marco played the role of Tatiana tiger (google SF Zoo if you don't know what I am talking about) and escaped for most of the show - luckily he did not maim anyone in the crowd.

Waiting for instructions from the trainer - who had a REAL whip btw.

Tiger roar!

Tiger roll off the stool.

Tiger roll through the hoop!

... or just kinda "land" through the hoop.

Tiger roll!

We celebrated the show with a crowd at Lanesplitter pizza (thanks for the tip Jeff!)
