The Greatest Show on Earth!

The WHAT:

The WHO:

Sara, Emma Frost, Jamie Walker, and ME

The WHY:

 The Ring Master

Contortionists being spun high in the air

He was holding on to two straps on his wrists.

She was holding a strap he was holding with his teeth.

The blur is from how fast they were spinning.

Tiger tamer... not nearly as cool as you'd think.

Contortionists... exactly as cool as you'd think.

Who knows what their technical job title was, but they were rockin' awesome. Pretty sure they have muscles visible that I didn't know existed.

"The Mighty Meetal!"

He's the one you can't really see laying on his back. He's holding up 1,257 pounds. Or some such number like that.

Seven motorcyclists going in two directions- vertically and horizontally- in a very small metal sphere. Definitely gasp-worthy.

Trapeze Artists. Again- just as cool as you've always imagined. Tight rope walkers? Not necessarily as cool as you've imagined... and that's why they didn't merit a picture.

Just like in Thoroughly Modern Millie...

Classic. The whole thing was perfect- right down to the trained elephants. Here they're spinning, but they also all came out holding trunk to tail- just like in Dumbo and Jungle Book. Way to go Disney!

Best Part? 

Smiling and laughing (and getting as excited as little kids)
