Ringling Brothers

I have been bad at keeping up lately.  The day before we moved into our new house, Travis took me to my very first circus!  We bought tickets to Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey a while ago, not knowing that we would be moving the next day.
(sorry for the blurry pictures.  It was bad lighting plus I just had my iphone as a camera.)

I was super excited, but didn't know exactly what to expect.  As we drove up, there were people with signs that said things like, "The circus isn't fun for the animals in it."  Immediately I felt bad before we even walked in.  The show started with an act with horses.  Then there were several other acts with clowns or amazing acrobatics.  It was very entertaining.  Then they brought out the elephants and I was enthralled!  They were big and beautiful!  I just wanted to ride on one.  They did some pretty amazing tricks but I could never catch them on camera.  

My favorite was definitely the tiger act.  I could not get over how beautiful they were.  There were even a couple of white tigers.  They were simply stunning!  I wish I could have gotten a picture of them.  I also really enjoyed listening to the kids laugh at the silly clowns.  They just got so tickled when the clowns would fall down or hurt themselves.  It was so funny to listen to the kids in audience.  We had a really great time, but probably won't go back until we have kids.  It was more geared towards kids than I expected.
