This past Sunday, May 31st, Lori, Megan, and I went to the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus. For Megan and me, it was the first time ever. Lori had been to one before, but it was so long ago (and so far gone from memory) that it didn’t really count, so for all practical purposes, it was the first circus for all of us.
It was Barnum’s “Funundrum” show and it was spectacular. At one point, I looked over at Megan and she was sitting there with her mouth hanging open in amazement. It was awesome.
One thing that was really surprising to me was that their clowns were not creepy… not even close. We’re talking less creepiness than even Ronald McDonald, and he pretty much sets the standard for non-creepy clowns.
There was so much going on all the time that it was tough to actually take pictures and watch at the same time. It was also hard to take pictures at all because nothing ever stops moving and the lighting is usually a bit low. I managed to do okay, though, and got some decent shots.
That said, here’s a link to my full album of shots.
