Who wants to join the circus?

I think Basti wants to joins the circus, but then again, that makes sense, as he's my child and when I was little I wanted to join the circus too.  I used to dream about joining a circus, like some children in the books I read were doing.  Okay, Basti does not want to join the circus, but he certainly enjoyed trying out his balancing skills on this tightrope, and later, tried some more balancing on the stilts.

The huge slide at the Gonubie Agricultural Show in East London

That's a pretty big slide.  I wonder how fast the kids would slide down if they poured some water and soap onto this slide?  Wheeeeeeeee!  That's Basti at the bottom of the slide, having just climbed up those steps to the right of the slide.  He said there was one step that was a little faulty and one could see down to the ground.  Hm, this slide is not for me, and definitely not for Tony.  Too high!

Walking on stilts at the Gonubie Agricultural Show

Tony on stilts at the Gonubie show!

Not fair - he could walk, hop, and even just stand there balancing perfectly!

With some practice on stilts, Basti might one day manage to walk on stilts, and balance on stilts, as well as Tony does.

Being inside a big plastic bubble ball at the Gonubie Agricultural Show

Basti had loads of fun in these huge big plastic bubble balls.  The fun see-through plastic balls were just one of the many attractions for children at the recent Gonubie Agricultural Show in East London - some adults enjoyed the rides too!
