A few weeks ago we took our kids to see the Ringling Bros. Circus. The greatest show on earth! They don't exagerate at all. This was the first circus that Allisa, now 12 years old (She saw the show at age 5) and is also the first circus for Elise, our 3 year old. She loved the whole show and "ooh'ed & aaah'ed" at all the right spots. The first photo is a shot that I took at Allisa's first circus. It is of a spinning globe of light that were selling for all the kids to get crazy over.They turned out all the lights in the arena and I saw the cool patterns that it made.
The shot with the rings and ladies hanging was pure luck. The shot was way dark as they lowered the lights a little too far. Thank God for RAW! It was the only way this shot could have been saved.
This was one of Elise's favorite parts of the show. she sat on the edge of her seat the whole time that they were hanging on the rings.
When I asked her after the show, she said that this and the cotton candy were her favorites. I didn't care much for the cotton candy as it was $12 per bag but it did come with a plastic "Ring Master's" hat... Wow!
My favorite has always been the lion tamer act. This show used large tigers and they are and always will be my favorite big cat.
Have fun when you got to the circus but bring your own cotton candy...
