Circus World

 After seeing the cats, we went back into Baraboo to Circus World.  It was a little after 10 am, so we missed the first Tristan Crist Magic Show.... but, the Big Top show and the magic show play twice daily since those are the big events.  That just means we had to stay for the 3:30 magic show.  There was plenty to do in the meantime!




 Getting ready for the Big Top Circus show to begin!  Run down of all the acts... http://circusworld.wisconsinhistory.org/Explore/Performances/Crowd.aspx#slide






























Luke was into all the circus wagon's the most.... he'd peruse around them, while we all waited :)




The Wheel of Destiny thrill act!  A spinning wheel contraption 35 feet off the ground.


Jumping rope and....
even blindfolded!




















 Finally crashed for a little bit!


Waiting for the show to start.... no pictures allowed during.

 A treat before hitting the road... Superman ice cream!   We took 33 home, the "scenic" way.... there were a few crazy switchbacks and lots of curves through the bluffs between Hillsboro and Ontario... especially near Wildcat Mountain State Park.  If that little bit bothered me, I wonder how I'll handle Beartooth Highway someday if we ever make it to Yellowstone!   Besides some hotel swimming pictures, that's it for our little Baraboo vacation.  It was a fun time, perfect spot to spend 2-3 days.
