The Greatest Show on Earth

That is a big statement, but it definitely is one of the best I have ever seen, the Circus is in town, yes the one and only Ringling Bros. and I got a great deal, kids are not in camp yet, so I am trying out all the fun stuff in town.  I was blown away, and the kids sat mesmerized for two hours, I was impressed by how it kept their attention.  My mother in law treated us, she was telling us that in Russia, that was huge when the circus comes to town.  Most of the performers were from Russia, and then there was a mix of dancers from every race and ethnicity.  Here are a few of the highlights:


1.  A basketball game on unicycles that is the picture above
2.  One man with 10 tigers caged in, and all of them following his cues,, kind of blury but here it is below


3.  Adagio which is usually a male and female performing acrobatic feats where the male lifts the female, here the females were at the bottom and the males were on top, the females were lean, gorgeous, and super strong
4. 8 gorgeous elephants doing all kind of tricks, and one did a headstand!

Those were the ones that really blew me away, there was amazing tightrope walking, the main performer did it all fast, almost on tippy toes, lifts, bicycles, jump rope, and more.

A part of me wishes I was a part of the show, I love all that strength, talent, and dress up.  I had a little taste of it in my single life on cruise ships and at night clubs, and had a ball.  I honestly mostly miss the dress up, because luckily in my work I feel like I am always on stage, and I love it.

At the circus I saw one of the Jewish camps bring kids, today was a day of mourning and loss in Jewish History.  Our young babies are always celebrating life, as we focus on remembering our history and keeping it alive for future generations.  I hope everyone had a powerful day.
