The Greatest Show on Earth

Ok.  Show of hands.  Who thinks circuses are creepy?  I kind of do.  But we still went to see the circus this year when it came to town.  And it was actually pretty cool.  The kids loved seeing the animals and the funny things the clowns did...plus just the spectacle of it was amazing.  In a world that is pretty jaded by all the things you can see on TV it was still jaw dropping amazing.  But maybe a little creepy too.  So plastic clown noses?  Creepy. (Look out Grant!)

Less creepy on children, however.

Singing and dancing.  Not too creepy.


Lots of big tigers...shiver!!
You can't see them in this picture.  I have a healthy fear of large cats.  
Luckily these ones were behind a cage.

Clown shenanigans?  Creepy.

Lady being shot out of cannon?  Hmm...I guess not that creepy.  But definitely amazing!  So the circus was cool.  My favorite part - the basketball players that rode unicycles (like Harlem Globetrotters on unicycles) and the elephants.  Things that scared me:  tightrope walkers and tigers.  It was cool to see though!  So big thumbs up for the circus, as long as you can tolerate those clowns.  Oh, those clowns!!
