Ringling Bro's Circus

The Ringling Bro's and Branum and Bailey circus was in Phoenix a couple weeks ago so we decided to take the kids to it! I am not so sure I wasn't the most excited one there :) I have never been to a circus before and this circus was AMAZING!!! We had such a blast! The acts were so awesome and we decided to buy a little treat while we were there, so we stopped the guy and asked him how much cotton candy was, he said 10$!! What?? are you kidding me? well we decided not to get cotton candy, but we later gave in to a 10$ sno cone in a souvenir cup! Britlyn and Kolten were ecstatic over this sno cone. Me, not so much :)  (ten bucks??)  but it was fun anyway! I think my favorite act was the elephants, just cuz they are so big that its crazy to see them even do anything but walk, and the people acts were pretty cool too, like the swinging in the air ones and the weird girls that are called human pretzels cuz they bend in disgustingly wrong ways haha, but it was such a fun time, and I am definately going to go to this one again! Oh and by the way, we got tickets on the 6th row!! They were almost TOO good if thats possible. I couldn't take a picture of the entire floor, we were too close :) but there's not complaining!! Thanks to military discounts :)

Kolten and I waiting for the circus to start

Britlyn and Luke at the preshow, they had awesome guys on stilts doing some REALLY crazy tricks. Im sad i didn't get any pictures of them! They were cool.

These guys were pretty cool to watch do flips and stuff on these little tiny beams that other guys were holding. One guy did fall, but they did some pretty awesome tricks and landed everytime on that little beam. I felt bad for the guys holding it.

can't remember this elephants name, but she painted a picture during the preshow

waiting for it to start

i thought it was cute how they carried the american flag around on an elephant :)

the tiger dude. i wouldn't ever get in with those huge things. it was cool. i am once again bummed i didn't get very many good ones of this stuff too

tight rope people

I wanted a picture of Britlyn with her little souvenir, but I guess it turned out to be a picture of me :) but you can kinda see her

Once again, i loved the elephant acts

This trick was AMAZING i thought

These guys were cool, they had this little see saw thing, and one guy would jump on to it and bounce the other guy up into the air and he'd do back flips onto the next guys shoulders! They made it 4 people high! a guy on stilts even tried it and he landed his flips! crazy, and then another guy did it and he was strapped to only 1 stilt, and he flipped off it  and landed on the mat too! They had pretty crazy tricks

None of my pics turned out of the beginning when everything was out, but this is one with the ringmaster ( or whatever they call him) on his little thing, I thought he was very entertaining.

Here are the girls they called the human pretzels, this was the only picture that turned out, but they did some really crazy twisted distortions with their body! some of it made me sick to look at lol, but it was cool!
