"A sucker's born every minute." P.T. Barnum

Well, that may be true but we're no suckers for taking the boys to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey Circus a couple of weekends back! It was sooo much fun! We went early to hit the pre-show and J got to try the trapeze swing, T-Man tried on the ringleader's vest, and we got to see a magic show up close and personal! After the pre-show we headed to our value $6 seats that were actually very good, one row up from the box seats and thoroughly enjoyed the show. T-Man started to fizzle about 10 minutes prior to the show being over. With him being just like his dad, in that he retires early and rises early, a 7P-9P show wasn't going to cut it in the end. He survived in tight quarters until about 8:45-50 and then Daddy had to take him out to let him run! J LOVED the show. When asked later what was his favorite part, "the elephants, they pooped on the floor, you HAD to see it, Mom!" T-Man said his favorite part was, "da diders" toddler translation = the tigers.

J and T-Man's favorites, the elephants and the tigers.

The last pic is a bonus from the clown of the show, J said he wasn't really a clown because he wasn't wearing makeup or had a red nose. However, this guy has a talent for riding bikes in unusal yet entertaining ways. Here is his finale riding a mini-mini bike through a fire ring. J just thought this was the bees-knees!
