The Circus!!!

We had never been to the circus and we had the chance to go for Felipe's sisters birthday. I was a little skeptical that it would exciting but I thought it would at least be fun because I had never been to the "delta center" before. So it would be a new experience. :)
I was AMAZED at the things that they did. It was so much fun and have decided that we will have to go to the circus more often. We didn't bring our camera because we were so far up that the pictures wouldn't have turned out at good as the ones they have on their website.
My favorite "act" was the tiger show. I have always loved tigers so I was bound to love them. The tigers were amazing they are ridiculously smart. The trainer/performer spoke to them in either Russian or German...it was a language Felipe couldn't pick out. And we were so far away from them that it was hard to hear...but I have decided that any other dogs I have in my life will be trained in a different language...maybe :)

There were 9 tigers all in the same cage, it was amazing that the trainer could pay attention to all of them at the same time. He would be asking one to do a trick and realize that a tiger behind him was getting restless and "make" him be good. My favorite trick was the tiger that could walk on his hind legs. It was so cute and being so far away made him look like a little kitty jumping up for a string.

Felipe liked the motorcycles the rode in a metal ball. It was crazy.

The picture just doesn't show how cool it really was. They fit 7 riders and their bikes in this tiny space and they all ride around going sideways and upside down. Felipe said this is why he wants a motorcycle now...so he won't be getting one :) I was nervous for the people that I don't even know so I don't think I could handle my husband being wreckless like that.

Those were just our favorite things. They had all kinds of amazing acts. The flying trapeze, tight rope walkers, acrobats, elephants, bodybenders, etc.



We had a blast there! If you ever get the chance I think it is well worth it! :)
