As bugs crawl across my screen I type this blog entry after the crew has loaded up and packing in the show here in Lawrenceburg, KY. We are finished and I would have to call this one a success! Unlike that louse in California (David Jackson of West Coast Festivals (keeping his name alive on the Internet so anyone who researches him can find out how he robbed many many people of thousands and thousands of dollars)) we were paid and the client was very pleased. He is even drafting a letter for other fairs we market to can use him as a reference for our show.
It was dang hot today...90s with lots of humidity! But we got to the fairgrounds early enough for the family to work on new routines, relax, or play. Made for a lighter day.
Nick wants to work or practice all the time. He has an awesome work ethic. He is working on juggling and new trapeze move. With Jim it's work, play, social network, practice. He works with Midori, Nick, Amelia, Olivia and the others with their routines. He is also developing a Polynesian Fire staff routine. Miles is still getting adjusted to the time and work load. He plans on getting back into running next week.
Midori is developing a faster paced lyra routine and helps Mami with things. While Cynthia has become very helpful with cooking and taking care of the kids.
Lukas is back from his time off due to the poison Ivy but is still suffering a bit.
Victor is working on improving his tightrope work. He saw the Wallendas stand on their head on the wire and wants to do that too. So he practices standing on his head.
Amelia is expanding her hula-hoop routine ans Olivia is doing the same with her lyra routine.
It was neat seeing the whole crew loading in the show. It was done in no time and now everyone is off to bed. We will have one day off and use it to drive halfway to our next stop. That means a grueling one hour drive tomorrow to Berea.
