I am a sucker for circuses.
I LOVE circuses.
I can’t get enough of circuses.
I have loved circuses all my life. Never grew out of my love for circuses. That I had 4 kids, across a 17-year span, gave me added impetus. I took them to a lot of circuses. The youngest went to her first, a ‘Big Apple Circus‘, when she was 3 weeks old. [And, yes, we got thrown out because she started crying. But, I got to watch most of it, standing up, from the back of the Big Tent.]
For nearly 20 years we went to at least one circus a year, usually two.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, is my favorite — alongside ‘Cirque du Soleil‘, they each offering a different experience.
I was crushed when Ringling Brothers stopped in 2017. We made sure to attend their last performance in New Hampshire.
When I heard that they were coming back I was beyond thrilled. I rushed to buy a ticket.
As you know, I also have tickets for Cirque du Soleil, ‘OVO’, in August.
This one is in November. I am all set.
I am excited & happy. SMILE.
