Nate is on the left, Jake is on the right. These boys love the circus. A love they inherited from their dad. They grew up juggling, riding unicycles and making amazing balloon creatures. In fact, Nate works for the Zoppe Family Circus. The Zoppe Circus is run by the Zoppe family and is, well duh, an Italian family circus. Since July, Nate has worked in their circus's in Arizona, Chicago, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Phoenix. He has great stories of how he has slept in a box truck outfitted with a space heater. When he is in Jacksonville, Nate practices his juggling at the Y. And quite often, Jake joins him. As you can imagine, the Y kids LOVE it!
This summer, they are going to do mini juggling camps at the Y! Yea!
Just look at them, casually juggling...
And look at the juggling balls, hand made, hand sewn...very cool. Who knew?
Nate says the grandmother cooks for them when they are traveling.. He says her Italian food is wonderful. I can only imagine! I want them to come do a circus at the Y! Wishful thinking!
Jake is multi-talented...an amazing photographer and graphic artist. He is also my favorite barrista at The Three Legged Dog! And one more thing, Jake dates my daughter Madeline.
The Sorrill brothers, amazing talent, tucked in our little community. Such fun stories all around us!
