Ringling Brother's & Barnum & Bailey Circus

Brian surprised me with tickets for the circus.  The idea came when we were in downtown St. Louis for the half-marathon a few weeks back.  The Scottrade Center, where we parked for the race, had circus trucks (see below).  Casually, it came up that I had never been to the circus before.


Of course we got to the circus a little early and was able to walk around on the event floor prior to the start.  It was pretty cool.  The different acts (jugglers, clowns, etc.) did little fan interactive pieces prior to the actual start of the circus.

Our seats for the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.  These are Asian Elephants.  They are one of the smartest animals on the planet.


The Globe of Steel had at one point 8 motorcycles in it.  Pretty cool!
