We went to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus: Barnum 200 last night and it was so much fun!! We had great seats– again– and the show was wonderful– again. I loved The Torres Family!! The Torres Family performs with 7 motorcycles in a 16-foot steel sphere, where speeds can reach up to 65 mph. It’s crazy! We saw them 2 years ago and it was just as exciting to see them again!!!

 

Taj and Liv loved the animals. The elephants were super cute, for being so ginormous. Seiuli loved the trapeze artists. They were pretty amazing!

Everyone had a great time. We got to go to the pre-show party, hanging out with the performers and eating yummy food.

Then we went down on the circus floor before the show and got circus tattoos, tried on real circus clothes and got up-close and personal with some jugglers!! The kids loved it!

 

I can’t wait til next year!! Thank you Ringling Bros. and Feld Entertainment!! Truly the best show on earth!

Taj, Sei, Livie and I were able to go to the circus this past month. The older kids weren’t home so Sei invited a co-worker and his family to use their tickets. It was the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Zing Zang Zoom. And let me be clear- if you’re going to the circus ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!!  Ringling Bros. is the best. The show was so great!! I, personally, loved the elephants. I’m amazed that those huge animals can do so many things!! And the puppies were super cute too- Livie loved them.  She’s still talking about the puppy riding the scooter! Taj loved the tigers and getting to meet the performers before the show. That was pretty awesome. I loved how I was constantly entertained- as were my kids and husband. There was even one part that was performed completely upside down. I had never seen anything like it!! I did miss the motorcycles in the huge, round cage. That was my favorite act from last year, but the new Ring Master, Alex Ramon,  did a great job and the new acts were great! Check out Ringling.com to see when the circus is coming near you. I know the circus will be in Ft. Worth, Texas Aug 11 to 15, 2010.
