Under the Big Top

We spent Mother's Day the Greatest Show on Earth - Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Funundrum, to be exact.  It was the girls' first trip to the circus - and possibly mine as well, as I don't ever remember going when I was little - and they really loved it.  Once we settled in with some pretzels and some popcorn, there was plenty of action to keep their interest for the entire show.  Lee and I were also impressed with the vast majority of the performances.  All in all, it was a great way to spend the afternoon! More photos here.
A nice family shot.
This guy actually stopped and posed for this picture, while the show was beginning.
The elephants were majestic!
The aerialists were magnificent!
The Ring Master (center) was unbelievably talented!

These guys from the Ukraine put on an impressive performance.
Elizabeth and Sucker Daddy.  She's smiling because he just bought her some outrageously priced circus keepsake.
