Night at the Circus

On November 13th we went to opening night of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the United Center. Before the show everyone could go on the floor and meet some clowns and see some of the acts. As you can see by the smile, Alex enjoyed this part of the evening.





Bello is the lead clown and the star of the show. He is quite an impressive acrobat. Do you think that the kid catches him?




We were right in front of the tiger act. It was great! It was very cool watching the tigers snarl at the tamer.




We also really liked the elephants. There were lots of elephants. Unfortunately, I think I am very allergic to elephants. I am definately very allergic to the horses. Maybe the tigers? My eyes are swollen right now.




We had special seats that included being part of the circus. We all got Bello hats and rode on a train around the floor during the bellobration celebration. So much fun it shouldn't be legal.
