Zing Zang Zoom! The Greatest Show on Earth

Last night we treated the boys to the Greatest Show on Earth, Ringling Brothers' style! Everyone had a great time, despite the crowds and the nosebleed-section seats -- we had an awesome view of the entire show from the very top row. The show that came to the RBC Center in Raleigh is called Zing Zang Zoom.

First we visited the elephants, tigers, horses and zebras at the Animal Open House. It was a bit cold and Max wasn't sure he wanted to be so close to the tigers. Then we went down to the floor to check out the pre-show. Mason tried on a circus costume and met a few of the stars. There were so many people that we couldn't see much of the painting elephant or the clown act, and we headed up to our seats.

When the show started, the boys were mesmerized. Mason's favorite parts were the human cannonballs, the clown on the motorcycle, and the acrobat who jumped through a flaming hoop. Max's favorite was the clowns. Mark liked the tigers and I liked the elephants and tigers.
