the circus is here the circus is here...

so, for the second year in a row, we made our pilgrimage to the mighty american airlines center to see the ringling bros...this year was sooooo much better than last....we had a blast....ashlyn's favorites were the girl and clown on the tall white poles...the acrobats and the dancing dogs...(the dogs were just way too cute for their own good)...ryan's fave...the white pole act too...followed by those circley looking things that the people stood in and rolled around in...and mine...well, i like the tigers (just because i thought the trainer was pretty funny)...the dogs...because, once again, they were so damn cute...and the white pole...

here are a few pics from the evening....

"dress"ed and ready to go....(get it...dress-ed...you know..they have dresses on....yes, i'm a nerd)
