Circus Vargas

It was Ava, Charlotte and Ryan's first time at the circus! We got 50% off tickets online ($12.50 for ages 3yrs and up). Circus Vargas was close by at the Irvine Spectrum so we were excited to see the two hour show on Monday, June 18th. The 6:30 PM show was a traditional performance, but sans animals! So, no need to worry about PETA or cruel treatment of any animals. I was personally looking forward to seeing some elephants, but really I don't fee like we missed out on much without the animals' participation. The performers, clowns, lighting and music were entertaining enough and we felt got a great show, especially for the price.

The opening act was a starry lit tent and ballerina dancing on top of a music box with the ring master welcoming the audience.

Ava said she doesn't like clowns. I am not sure where she gets that idea from, but the two clowns in this show were actually pretty nice looking and silly. They didn't have such crazy make-up to intimidate young children which was a good change.

                        The trapeze artists!We have some great video. We only took two photos.

The motor cross performance was awesome! It was a father, mother and their 10 year old son.
