Built To Amaze Indeed

Yes.  I feel terrible about all the animals traveling by train all across the states and being asked to perform for crowds of people.  That said, it still was a great show and I honestly don't know how it's possible that I didn't run away to join the circus in my youth.  I still think that had I known about Cirque when I was still a young and limber woman - I would have dropped everything and moved to Canada to train.  Without a doubt.

But I digress.

The kids absolutely loved every minute of the show.  The elephants, the horses, the tigers, the magician, the goofy clowns, the dogs, the trampolines -- it truly is the greatest show on earth.  Wren says that her favorite part was the elephants.  Atticus is torn between the elephants and the clown who lit the other clown's tush on fire.  :)  Go figure, boys....

Me... I loved the horses and the trampoline act.  And the arial acrobatics with the cool ribbon things.  And, well - the tigers are still pretty damn cool too.

It was a late night, and I suppose technically our first trip to Brooklyn -- but all in all a great night.
