The Boehmer Family Jugglers
Larry and Judy Boehmer have got 11 children, and they’re all part of the Boehmer Family Jugglers. Their circus show is fantastic — it’s got juggling, unicycles and gymnastics. It’s at theme parks and festivals around the USA.
The Boehmers have got four sons and seven daughters. Their names are Adam, Casey, Holly, Sarah, Keri,
Jonathan, Melissa, Austin, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Margaret.
Casey Boehmer is a fantastic juggler. He’s got a gold medal from the International Juggling Association. It’s amazing because Casey has only got one arm, but he can juggle five balls with one hand. The Boehmers have also got a dog called Bosco. Sometimes, Bosco is their assistant at the circus show!
