Florida State High Flying Circus

We took our second trip to see the Florida State High Flying Circus perform at Callaway this summer. This year's show was even better than last year's performance. They are an impressve group of students - one of only two student-run performing circuses in the world and the only one where each person is responsible for choreography, stage set-up, costume making, etc. They all do everything to keep the show up and running. Abby and Emily both enjoyed the show...perhaps too much! Emily is very excited about doing different "ticks" (tricks) and showing off her gymnastic skills to anyone who will watch. She is an excellent dangler, as the cashiers at Publix will tell you. She likes to dangle from the aisle dividers when we check out. Donald and I figure that by taking her to the circus each summer, we've probably encouraged her to run away and join the big top when she's a teenager. Oh well, it was a fun summer evening anyway! We even got to squeeze in a walk on the beach before we drove back home.
