Circus Sights

So I thought I would include some pictures of the "Greatest Show On Earth". We all really did have a fun time. I remember going to the circus I think two times when I was a kid. I remember scary clowns, rings of fire and lions. Thanks goodness that this Ringling Bros. show did not have scary clowns at all. PHEW! The clowns these days are hip and cool. That's good, I wasn't up for nightmares for me or my kids! Here are a couple of awesome pics of the show.
First up, my favorite the elephants!
These tight wire walkers were fabulous. They did all kinds of tricks. And the main guy walked without the safety wire. He was crazy, I thought.
There were trapeze acts too. Quadruple spins in the air. They did have a net and for that I was grateful because on the big attempt to do some sort of crazy spin the guy fell. Thank goodness for nets!
I caught this pic of Adam and Jack mesmerized by the motorcycles in enclosed in a metal sphere. There were 7 motorcycles going round and round all at the same time. It was so amazing!
Don't you love Rocky's hat?
These trampoline guys were neat too. It was fun to watching all of them flipping and leaping and bouncing together.
And of course, back to my elephants. I love them so.
Aren't they fantastic? I'm telling you...the best part of the show!
Next time the Ringling Bros. is in town, check it out.
You won't be disappointed!
