We Went To The Circus

I seriously love the circus.  I know, you think it's because of the elephants, don't you?  Okay, maybe that's part of it.  I mean, I did take about one hundred pictures of just the elephants.

We went last year, and I was happy that the show was completely different this year.  There were things they didn't do this year that I would have loved to see, and there were new things this year that were pretty cool.  My favorite (after the elephants, of course) was when these two guys got into these metal rings that spun around.  They were doing flips and jumping rope, not only on the inside, but on the outside, too.  Check it out:

You can't really tell in the picture how high this guy was off the ground, but he was pretty high.

I can't wait to go again next year.

The Greatest Show On Earth

What can make a kid smile that big?

Wednesday night we headed to the Greatest Show On Earth. It was awesome! I think my smile was bigger than Brandi's. I used to go see this circus every year at Madison Square Garden when I lived in NY, and the last time I went had to be about 17 years ago. They have changed so much, and yet it still had the same feel. I loved the trampoline performers, which was new, and of course I adored the elephants. It was all I could do not to go down there and hug every single one of them.

Yeah, I know. But if you can't let your inner child out every now and then, what's the point of having one?
