Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus Review & Giveaway!

They are not exaggerating when they say "The Greatest Show On Earth"!. I have never been to the circus and when I was invited I thought that it would be a great opportunity for my niece, my nephew and I. They have never been either! Here are some of the pictures I took! (I was a little camera happy!)
 This is the room we were in for the pre show party. The atmosphere was so fun that it was easy to have a good time, even for the adults! This is my sister being silly!
 This is my nephew hitting me in the head! My niece was trying so hard to not laugh. The clowns were great and they interacted with the kiddos. They even signed to programs that were given to us! The girl clown teased my niece and drew a silly picture on her boss!

These are 2 of the performers. Sissy was so excited to talk to fellow dancers! Duders asked if they were in the show, and when it was going to start!



This is one of the people that work with the animals. She was also the host of the pre show. She was so energetic! 

The kiddos kept wantong to go back and take more pictures with the tools!


This is just before the pre show. We had a lady take us right from the party to the pre show. The clown with black hair asked Sissy if she was the one that drew a funny picture on his face..... She said no, but we knew who did!! 

The pre show had a little bit of everything! It was a glimpse of what was to come!

These are the two penguins! 

The kiddos loved seeing the horses, Duders has rode a horse bareback before!


The penguin to the left is an audience volunteer! I could definitely see my dad doing that!


This was like a skit where the men competed for the girl clown. However it was the audience volunteer who won her over!

This is duders jump roping! He has never done it before and the performers took time to show him! All of the performers were really great with the kiddos and you could tell that they wanted to make the kids smile!

This was Sissy's first time as well. 



This Clown was awesome. He walked on a ball, juggled and caught pins! A boy from the audience threw a pin and missed. The clown reacted and it was so funny.... 


This was really amazing to see up close~!


This lady did amazing things! 
  
This is the host and the lady from the pre show party. The elephant blew his nose, and played games with her. 

 
This is the elephant painting a picture that an audience member got to win! You can see his trunk holding the paint brush!


This is the beginning of the Circus! There was so much going on and there was never a dull moment! They also had an elephant rider with our flag and we sang the National Anthem!

This is who they thanked for the Circus.


 
There were songs, dancers and so much more!

There are performers everywhere so there is never a bad seat!



The man on top is holding the girl by using only his teeth!!!

These are basketball players on unicycles!


These tigers were unreal. They begged like pet cats!

 
They also were good at taking turns!

The worked all together and it was amazing that they were all in tune with each other.


There are not enough words to describe them!

These are cars that audience members got to ride in!

There was so much to see!

There were also dance numbers!


The girl on the bottom and her partner were like watching a graceful dance. They did amazing lifts and so much more.


The tightropes! I do not even know where to start. 

They walked on each other, 


Held a lady on a chair, while riding bikes, 

And, she even stood up......

I saw the canon and I did not think that they were going to do this!

But they did! They shot a lady right out of it!


The elephants danced and were really fun to watch.

They dance better then I do!   

This was a cross between gladiators, a ferris wheel and performers!

They jumped, etc


This is the grand finale!

I was truly amazed by all that I saw and will have memories for years to come. I am so lucky that I was given this opportunity to review The Greatest Show on Earth! I am also very lucky that I was able to bring my niece and nephew! I would like to that ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus! 

I am giving away a coloring book, a clown nose and a bracelet to a lucky reader!
