The Greatest Show on Earth

We were lucky enough to get tickets to go to the circus on Thursday night. The pictures will tell most of the story.

Here are the girls eagerly waiting for the show to begin:


Does Vin look excited or what?


Here come the elephants!


This boy was so excited he couldn't stay in his seat.


Can you tell these are zebra?



What magnificent animals



These acrobats amaze me. No safety wire or netting.



Here are some kids levitating their moms.



There was some safety harnesses on these swings:



Next, the high wire act:



They also had cannons. These two ladies were shot out of the double cannon at the same time.


The next acrobatics:





The elephants came out (the clown was right they smell like dung)


These performers had gravity make their world upside down.






These hoops spin around in circles like pendulums.



What a fun evening!
