The Circus is coming to town! YAY just in time for summer vacation!

School is finally unwinding and my kids are getting anxious! The only things I have on the agenda are cub scout day camp for my son and my twin daughters get to attend because they are siblings and I am helping out! My oldest is doing her homework over the summer (yes in AP classes in high school, you get a massive list of papers to write and books to read) and on top of that, she is a Varsity cheerleader so trying to find things that work with her schedule is hard for me.  But thankfully, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus is coming to town! Something to occupy and keep them happy instead of saying I'm Bored! Well at least for one day!
From the folks at Feld entertainment here is the synopsis of the show:



  Behold the living legends! Children of All Ages will believe in the unbelievable with the
all-new circus spectacular, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents LEGENDS, coming to the Los Angeles area from July 9 – August 3 playing at STAPLES Center Los Angeles (July 9-15); Citizens Business Bank Arena, Ontario (July 18-22); and Honda Center, Anaheim (July 25-Aug 3).
Iconic Ringling Bros. stars meet fabled mythological creatures at the place where legends live…The Greatest Show on Earth®! Experience unimaginable family fun, as amazing circus athletes perform awe-inspiring feats of daring, spectacles of strength and thrills of wonder in a celebration of the LEGENDS that have captured imaginations for centuries. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson guides Paulo the Legend Seeker on his quest to discover real, living circus legends from around the world…along the way encountering the fantastical Pegasus, a Unicorn and the remarkable Woolly the Mammoth!

   Featuring over 100 performers spanning 25 countries plus more than 85 animals from nearly every continent around the world, the Ringling Bros. 144th Edition features several unique acts including:
 China National Acrobatic Troupe from Beijing perform several impressive acts including balancing 20 people on two bicycles, fast-paced hoop diving and graceful Diabolo juggling skills
 Introducing the Double Trapeze, especially designed for Ringling Bros., with the attempt of four
consecutive triple somersaults in a row!

   Plus additional circus legends highlighted in the show such as Big Cat trainer Alexander Lacey; edge-ofyour-seat Cossack Riders equestrian stunts; Globe of Steel motorcycle daredevils; of course no show would be complete without the Ringling Bros. Clown Alley and treasured performing pachyderms!
