The Greatest Show On Earth

Yesterday, our family went to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. What a fantastic day!We spent the first 30 minutes visiting with the circus animals.

Next, it was off for an hour of the pre-show. This was FANTASTIC! We go to meet many of the characters from the circus. There were lots of acrobats, aerialists and animals to meet. We got to see pre-show performances by plate-spinning clowns, Chinese jugglers and hand-balancers, and Frisbee fetching canines.

We also got to see a “mammoth masterpiece” painted by the Picasso of Pachyderms.

Bailey and Jack tried on circus costumes.

They both were even chosen as a volunteer!

There was so much to do and see,

and the show hadn't even started!

We made our way to our seats, toting popcorn and drinks, ready to settle in for a spectacular circus display.

The circus has definitely changed since I was a kid. What a fantastic day and I am sure this was the kind of day that creates childhood memories!
