Au Revoir, Ringling Brothers

Well, this recent news has given me the kick in the pants I needed to finally write this blog post, although it hurts my heart that I have to type this.

For those of you who have not heard, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey is closing its doors for good in May of this year.  At the time, I obviously didn't know that this would be the last circus show I would ever see from this company, and now I'm even more grateful I had the opportunity to attend.

In remembrance of the Out of This World tour, here are some photos from the show at the United Center.  This circus was truly The Greatest Show On Earth.

...I'm not really sure what's going on here

...or here

 And of course, the real reason you're actually reading this post:  the circus horses

(None of the photos I took of the "W" flag came out clearly, so here is a screenshot of a video I also took XD)

The times my family and I visited the Ringling Brothers circus will always be treasured, and the legacy this circus leaves behind will never be forgotten.

To conclude on a happier note, enjoy these photos of Buster & Misty during the holiday season.  This is definitely relevant.  The two of them might as well have their own circus XD <3

At first he wouldn't wear the hat...

...but when we brought the treats out he caved.

Here he is looking like a complete puppy because he wanted the candy from my stocking :P
