Elephants, Tigers, & Camels, Oh My!

This past weekend we went to the Ringling Bros. Circus Xtreme. It was amazing and so much fun! The elephants and tigers were my favorites. They had seventeen tigers in the cage with only one trainer... I'd be so terrified! KC was convinced something was going to go wrong, so he filmed the entire act. LOL

The best part was the elephants. All weekend, animal activists stood outside the stadium protesting the circus using elephants as entertainment, etc. Throughout the elephant performance and tricks, the trainer explained how they train them and shared facts about elephants that most people probably don't know. They even explained what they use the "training stick" for. It was perfect. I really wished those activists would have been in there for that; it would have been very educational for them. However, I'm not saying animals should be taken from the wild and made to entertain us, but I don't think the ones in the circus are mistreated in any way. You could see the love and bond between the animals and the trainers.

There were so many entertaining and awesome acts. Here's a couple pictures of some other things we saw:

Here's to hoping for a great week! Only 5 days until my trip!
