Circus camp

 Son #1 went to Circus camp during the Easter holiday and he had a blast, he really likes it (it is the second time he joins the circus camp) and I am always impressed how quick these kids pick up al the tricks.
Ok , I must admit, son#3 isn´t really atletic, but he is only 4, but he was allowed a try on the trapeze as you can see, aided by my dad and his big brother.

Nic really likes the trapeze and he always amazes us with his strength on these contraption... I will not repeat these...

Circus camp

Son #1 spent the last week in circus camp and he loved it. Today, we went to pick him up a bit early to see what he learned. And we were very impressed.

He loved the juggling with the handkerchiefs, and he is really good at it.

Wildlife encounter

I took the kids for lunch and we saw a circus that is visiting our town. We live in a town near Antwerp city and I told the boys that we could have a look at the tigers and elephants, since they made the news when the elephants escaped and were wandering in a corn field nearby.
So as we walked over to the tigers we saw that the giraf was very close to the road, and I know that there is no fence between the field and the raod, so we had a look and the giraf was standing next to the road, so we decided to go back home and get the camera and take a picture.

When we arrived back, a member of the circus staff was with the animal so we took some pictures and son #1 even tried to feed it, but it was not interested, we should have brought some bananas. It made a big impression to stand so close to the animal, wow, there is a big difference if you know that there is no fence in between you and this creature, but this is how memories are built...
