Polka dot afro, polka dot circus...

If you've never seen Madagascar (1, 2 or 3...can't remember which one it is?), then our subject line for this one will be lost on you.  It's a riot, Chris Rock is the voice for the zebra, and you should see it if you haven't already.  Anyway, we took the kids to the Shriner Circus at the Broomfield Event Center, and we're glad we did.  I love how our little clown (see above), fits right in with his counterparts. 

It wasn't exactly Barnum & Baily, but this little circus was impressive nonetheless, especially for kids who have nothing to compare it to.  There were still elephants balancing on barrels and tigers jumping through fire and motorcyclists going up tight ropes and overpriced food and the like.  It was great!
