The Greatest Show on Earth



The title still fits the bill. What an amazing production with death-defying acts that had me closing my eyes (7 motorcycles being driven simultaneously in a small sphere) or a man at the very top of the arena hanging upside down and going across monkey bars with his feet. (did I mention he didn't have a safety net under him?) While kiddos #1 and #2 were amazed and enthralled with each and every act, the younger two- kiddos #3 and#4 were excited about the elephants and clowns, respectfully. :-)

It was pageantry at its finest, perhaps with a bit too much "techno-tronic" mixed in there, but the circus still brings out the kid in all of us. I just as eagerly as my children looked forward to the tigers, elephants and trapeze artists who literally seem to fly.

We had awesome seats-- 5th row center. Couldn't be better. The memories will last a long time as the kiddos experienced their first circus and their mom, dad and grandmother experienced their joy.
