Clowning Around

Saturday, March 28, 2009

While Mark started the first day of his weekend shifts, Sherry and Ro enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons, then headed down to Blake Park across from Ro’s old Kindy to check out the circus in town for the weekend. The “Aotearoa Circus” is a small, eclectic group of human acts, no animals. Complete with clowns, trapeze artists, comedy, aerial entertainers, balancing and acrobatic acts, it was a hit with all, especially the largely under-12 audience. Ro enjoyed himself immensely, although he got a bit protective when one of the clowns gave Sherry a rose and motioned for her to kiss him. Further adding to the comedy, Ronan leaned over across Sherry and told the clown, “Hey, don’t mess with my mom!” Aotearoa is the Maori word for New Zealand, by the way, and means “Land of the Long White Cloud.”
