Kiev's Circus - sharing the random spectacle

This past weekend, our dear friends the Johnson's came to visit.  Our tour included a stop at Kiev's circus.  Housed in a permanent building, shows rotates ~every 6 weeks.  While the specific acts vary, the 'surprising & random' is constant.

We got random straight away:

Yankee Doodle inspired jugglers....

Inner-tube bouncing biker dudes....

A clown beating innocent spectators....

Xavier especially thought it was hilarious

Even more so when it was his turn to do the hitting...

It didn't take long to layer on sexy:

The dog trainer......

Dancers introducing the bouncing guys....

And some cringe worthy:
Some super worn down looking lions.....

PETA would not approve of these 1 paw in the grave, bored looking lions

The strong man hammering nails with his bare hand....

Sexy ladies show proof....

Next he holds up a van with his legs....

But then goes a bit too far - he lays under the car....

...and proceeds to get run over!

(BOTH tires ran over him!)

So while there were no elephants, we certainly got a big show


Thanks for coming Johnson's - always glad to share the fun

And the views...

(our totally distracting view at dinner!)

Happy Monday
