Mr Fips Traveling Circus


Mr. Fips traveling Circus came to Barton Mills (right next to Mildenhall Village) We don't have a whole lot to keep us busy at home anymore since we shipped everything a few days ago, so we literally jumped at the chance for a little entertainment. The show started at 7:30, kinda late for the little ones but we put Owen in his Pjs and ventured out into the cold.

Ava trying to stay warm while waiting for the doors to open. Mr stilts was nice and tall!

Of course we had to spend money money money...on treats, drinks and glow sticks.  It's all in good fun and the prices really weren't too bad, except for the fact that it was pounds we were spending and not dollars.


The show started out with Mr Fips himself getting dressed up in his clown costume

He was a true hoot!  He even gave Ava a free spinning plate trick during intermission.  Thanks Mr Fips

The Ring Master

These girls were amazing


Acrobats

This had to be my favorite part...The 2 clowns did a shaving foam act.  They even brought it out into the audience and some poor chap got it as well. I laughed out loud which doesn't usually happen to me.


Still having a great time during intermission

Warming up by the heat tubes

and Owen is done.  It just got too late for him. All in all the circus was so much fun.  It was a small tent and we had front row seats.  Truly a great memory for all of us as we prepare to leave England.
