Today was pretty fun- I got to go to the circus for the first time in my entire life! I know, I know... I'm 14 and that was my first time. But in a way I think it made it all the more memorable; especially since I got to see how my sister reacted to it as well. In the beginning, I was quite panicky and a little bit grumpy. The reasoning for this was due to the fact that my dad miraculously somehow got us FIRST ROW SEATS- literally a foot or so away from the edge of the ring where the show was taking place. Initially, I thought it would be too loud and that there'd be too many people- but in the end; the seats were awesome as I was able to get plenty of awesome photos close up. Something both my dad and I noted was that we were so close to the acts that we could almost get a feel for the personality of the people! You could tell who was nervous, who was more experienced, who really threw themselves into the show, and especially; who's eyes lit up most at the applause of the crowd. Of all the acts shown; I must say that my favorite acts were the acrobats and the aerial performers. Some of the flips and stunts they could pull really left me speechless- and terrified. Some of these people were hanging in midair with nothing but a sash tied to their waist keeping them up; all the while twirling, dancing, and pulling incredible poses. It was insane and a very fun experience. I must say; some of the women you'll see performing definitely give inspiration to get into better shape! The physique on them was CRAZY; even considering that they likely practice for hours a day. In any case, I think that ties up my post... all in all, it was an amazing day and I'm glad I got to experience it with my family. For anyone interested in seeing the same show; it was the Garden Bros. Circus. I'd highly recommend it- just be sure to eat before going as the concessions are EXTREMELY over-priced. - Maddie

Hi Maddie! It seems like everyone enjoyed the day! Your grandmother talked about it quite a bit. Her favorite animal, I think, was the camel. Loved your picture of it.
