This year we decided to try out the circus. The Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey circus came to Charleston this week and we bought tickets. Emily and I had never been to the circus and Daniel had not been since he was very little. I always thought the circus was kind of creepy. But live and learn, I guess, because it was actually pretty neat and Emily loved it too!
Daniel and Emily loved the big cats - the lion, lionesses and the tigers. Frankly, that part scared me. I kept thinking they might eat the guy in the cage with them.
Other fun parts of the circus included a group of samurai swordsmen, men doing tricks on horses, clowns, a motorcycle on a high wire, trapeze artists, 3 rings of animal tricks - horses, donkeys and dogs, eight motorcycles driving inside a globe shaped thing. The show was really long - about 2 hours overall and it was definitely packed with things to see. We will definitely make this an annual trip from now on. Turns out it was not creepy after all.
