After watching an episode of Sophia the First that included a circus (and hearing about that non-stop for a few weeks), I snagged some tickets to the Ringling Brothers circus that came to our town. I am always weary about how the animals are actually treated in the circus and don't want to support animal cruelty, but since we had never been I thought it would be fun to give it a try. And Vi couldn't wait to go!
*and the animals seemed to be very well-trained and cared for as a plus; their website states that they maintain an elephant sanctuary as well*
We had great seats, and there were lots of lights with music and showmanship. Vi said that her heart kept beating really fast. She was mesmerized! We saw camels, elephants, horses, dogs, mini ponies, motorcycles in a cages, the strong man, tight-rope walkers, acrobats - you name it! We especially liked the mini-pony that could Moonwalk to Michael Jackson.
We came home with a new friend, elephant Princess Heart Heart.
It was one of our only beautiful days in March, and the circus was enjoyed by all!
