A Night At the Ringling Bros.!

For Family Night We went to see the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. It was a wonderful Show and We all enjoyed it.
I was only able to get a quick shot of Jon in our seats and Jones in Line to go in to the Show. But Sylvi was not going to have her picture taken! She was not to happy about the Animals being used
in the Show ! But that is our family Activist. I was glad she did not see the protesters or She would have wanted to join in! Jon on the other hand really enjoyed the show and was really into the people
being shot out of the rockets. Even Jones enjoyed the Night!
