Last week, Michele & I took the kids out to the FL State Fairgrounds for a behind the scenes tour of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus practice facility, where they were putting the finishing touches on the Fully Charged show before it opened. We met the Feld family (owners) and the daughters gave us a very nice tour. We got to see lots of performers practicing their moves, lots of cool backstage stuff, and then we went out back to see the animals. The boys even got to feed the elephants!
Tonight, we went and saw the show at the St. Pete Times Forum. We stopped by the Patron Party for a while and then headed down to the seats to enjoy the show. The kids even got to go out onto the circus floor and watch from some special seats in the ring. We all had a great time and hope to do it again next year!
