Ringling Brothers Circus!

SO the summer of fun continues for the Krebs Family. It was time for a visit with Rocky and he and I thought it would be fun to take the kids to the Circus. It was the perfect activity for a hot summer day. Our show was at 330, so it gave us time to drive the three hours down to LA and ended early enough to drive the 3 hours back and not get home too late. Rocky and I purchased the tickets months ago and the Sydney has been excited ever since.

It was hot in Ontario on Saturday. About 95 or so, so it was nice to get inside the arena early for the meet and greet. The circus let us on the floor to meet the stars up close, get autographs and try on wardrobe before the show. It was a fun casual time. Adam and Jack had fun marching around and seeing everyone.

After the meet and greet we had fun prowling the gift area. The best part Sydney told me! We brought a new tiger from home for Jack, so we could save a little cash at the event, but he promptly noticed a big red shiny VW Bug car that he attached himself too. So, Jack scored a new tiger and a new toy car. I should have known. Cars=Jack!

Sydney scored with gifts from Rocky including, a clown hat and classes, an awesome glowy necklace that looks like it was made for Mr. T. and a stuffed baby elephant doll. Geez! Sometimes I wish I was these kids! Adam and I scored Diet Cokes! Yay!

The show was super fun. Really. We highly recommend it. Adam, Sydney and Jack have NEVER been to any type of circus so each of them were just mesmerized! Seriously. Jack was awestruck. He sat in his seat the whole time and Ooooo and Ahhhh and Yehaw'd the whole time. And after the show he was constantly saying "Momma! I see Tigers!" "Momma! I see Elephants!" "Momma! I see lights!" "Momma! I see cars!" It was funny hearing him chatter all the way home. And Sydney had a great time visiting with her dad.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey was well worth the trip.
If you get a chance, definitely go! Here are Adam and Jack at the pre show meet and greet!
