Here are some pictures from our night at the circus last Thursday. If you are ever going to the Ringling Bros. circus make sure to arrive early. One hour before the start of the show, they do a little pre-show on the circus floor and allow ticket holders down for a closer look. Abby was shy about going down there but Emily wanted to. I took Emily down while my husband stayed with Abby in the suite (can you blame her?!).
We saw this guy on stilts jump rope….among other things like clowns up-close, dancing dogs and ponies.
Emily was absolutely mesmerized once the show started…
In fact we all were. There were elephants, horses, zebras, dogs, goats, tigers, clowns, acrobats, etc galore!
My favorite was the tigers. They were HUGE but yet acted like little kitty cats. The trainer had them sitting up begging and rolling over on their bellies. At one point the biggest tiger of all hopped across the ring like a bunny!
Perhaps though, my favorite thing was the clowns….

Clowns kind of personally freak me out, however I know they have good intentions!

March 31st, 2008 at 4:36 pmI love the circus and those are the most adorable clowns I have ever seen. We have done the Ringling brothers circus before and the kids got to ride on the elephants. We missed it this year though
