The Greatest Show on Earth


Last Saturday the kids and I decided to take Jennie to see "The Greatest Show on Earth". Brooklyn had won tickets last year and the kids had a blast so we figured we would let mom in on the fun this time. Once again it was a great show and the kids had a blast. It is a pretty reasonable show to see and one the whole family will enjoy. Here are some pictures from the night.


I don't know how they do this stuff but you could never get me to ride a bike on a tiny wire over 100' in the air. The stuff they do on this wire is incredible.


Look it's a family full of clowns.


The muscle men.


Maddux wanted me to get this picture to see how good his Uncle Spencer is with a jumprope.


You couldn't pay me enough money to do this.


Have you ever seen an elephant do a headstand? I have.


The elephants are really the main attraction of the show and this was their grand finale. It is kind of cool because the day before the show starts they actually parade all the animals thru the downtown streets on their way to the arena. The only bad thing is that it is now done at 6:00 in the morning. It use to be done during the middle of lunch hour but for some reason they decided to change.


This kid can fall asleep during anything if tired enough. He made it through the first hour and a half of the show but missed the last half hour and the best parts. I guess when you are really tired nothing can keep you awake. I still remember him falling asleep during the Justin Bieber concert. If 25,000 screaming girls can't keep you up then I guess nothing can.
