June 26th my dad got tickets from his boss to go to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus at US Airways Center. These weren't any ordinary tickets... these were tickets in the
Theater Box Seats. We had VIP parking right next to the arena. We had access to a special elevator to take us up to the suites where you get off and they have to check your ticket. There's a lounge with a full bar and a buffet meal. Private restrooms that there was never a line for even at intermission. And the seats were normal chairs that were really comfy. Really disappointed I left my camera in the car because I could have taken some great photos. So I had to settle for my camera phone/ ipod touch camera.
Circus Fare - Hot Dogs, Mac and Cheese, Salad, Popcorn and Cookies. All you could eat.
This is the lounge area. Each Theater Box has an assigned table where you can eat dinner. This is the MR Steel / Phoenix Modular table. You can see the buffet where dinner is set up in the background.
In the seats. Ryleigh and Grandpa checking out the view. Those are the box suites behind them.
Enjoying some drinks and snacks before the show.
Grandparents and the Grandkids.
Circus Pre-show. See the elephant. Ryleigh wanted to go down to the chaos. But the view from up top was much better and there were no crowds!
Let the show begin!
Hayden was mesmerized by the lights and music.
Tight rope walkers. The guy is standing on the shoulders of another guy on the rope. He jumps from that guy onto the shoulders of another guy in the middle of the rope. Amazing to see close up after watching SkyWire with Nik Wallenda walking across the Grand Canyon on a tight rope.
Shooting a girl out of a cannon.
Dancing elephants.
Acrobatic Wheel - Ryleigh's favorite
Wore Hayden out just watching it :)
Very fun night! Ryleigh's favorite part was the tiger named Julie. I'll never live that one down. Neat to experience it in a way we'll likely never experience again.
