Barnum, Bailey & Ella Circus

Playing Dress-up

The Contortionist were painful too watch.
These dogs dressed up in dresses, rode scooters and went down slides.


The tigers jumped, danced, hopped and walked around on two legs.
The elephants Ella's second favorite thing after the singing of course.
This was the finale. They shot two people out of a cannon. It's hard to see but in the picture they are the red blurs up in the air.

On Friday night we went to the Barnum & Bailey Circus with the kids and my Mom. Ella was so excited as we were walking into the Sprint Center she kept saying "I'm so exciting" (she meant excited). We arrived early so we could enjoy the All Access Pre-show down on the stage. Although Ella was a little apprehensive of the clowns and all the people down there. But on the way home she said she won't be scared next year and she wants to see the clowns.

Ella and Hudson both did really well considering the show started at 7:00 and that is around their bedtime. Ella was really intently watching the entire show especially when the tigers came out. Even thought the tigers were in a big netted cage she was still unsure. When the horses came out and were spinning in circles she said "that's amazing." She also really enjoyed the dogs dressed-up like princesses going down the slides.

I asked Ella what her favorite part was and she said the singing. Not the amazing animals or death defying tricks but the singing.
