Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth!




It was off to the Ringling Bros. Circus last night, our annual tradition!  This year's theme was Dragons and the girls were amazed by the strength, courage, bravery and heart the performers displayed.  One of the cool new features was the  motorcycle tightrope act. 

Ellie sat on Daddy's lap for the best view - we weren't sure if she was actually enjoying the performance, because she didn't crack a smile... until the tigers and lions arrived.  Then she sat up on Dad's lap and pointed excitedly.  We even heard a little growl from our little tiger. 

Meanwhile, Evie is delighted with her elephant snow cone, her first ever. Her favorite part was the motorcycles in the sphere, Mom liked the elephants, Ellie liked the tigers, and Dad liked the motorcycles and tigers best (how diplomatic).


During intermission, the girls enjoyed their treats and were a sticky mess. 


You always have to end on a showstopper! What a fantastic show!!
