The Greatest Show On Earth! Circus time.

Tonight our family had a great time going to the circus! We ended up having amazing seats (12th row center circle!) and the kids both thought the whole thing was fantastic.

These brothers did some pretty amazing stunts, including riding unicycles across these ropes.
And another favorite, the zebras!
These gymnasts worried little Julia. She kept pointing to them saying "Get down! Get down!" as if she were protecting them from an accident waiting to happen.
This was one of my favorite acts (although the pics just do not do it justice!). The guys on the left jumped on the board and the guy on the right was tossed up in the air, did a flip and landed on the stack of guys to the far right. They did several variations of this, including one that was 5 men tall! It was really unbelievable!
The tiger act was pretty amazing. Ry thought it was cool that one of the tigers wasn't listening and started a cat fight, so he was sent back to his cage during the performance.
The elephants were probably Julia's favorite.
Julia is intrigued by those elephants! She even stopped eating her pretzel when they came out!
Ry's sweet little face looked like this most every time I looked over at him. This for sure will need to become a yearly outing for our family!

Were there a bunch of people outside protesting the circus? There were a bunch here when we went to the circus....handing out flyers and holding posters of the mistreatment of circus animals....anyway, glad you had a good time! Dylan got kind of bored with the circus, but she was also 2 1/2 at the time!
