I was pretty astounded the first time I went to the circus: the bright colors! the noise! the smell of the elephants! all the people! did I mention all the colors!
It's a good thing I was like 23 at the time; if I had been a kid I think I would have imploded with sensory overload. Did I mention the colors? Anyway, it must be time to head to the circus again, because all of a sudden it sounds like fun. Although I'm technically more a Cirque du Soleil fan, but free tickets are free tickets. And did you know that Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus gives away a free circus ticket to every child born in the U.S.? Hey, it's news to me, too, but they've been doing it since 1993.
True! And the free ticket is redeemable for the life of the child, so there's no hurry. You can fill out an online form or do the burdensome mailing thing (guess which one I'll be doing?).
I did mention this is free, right? And you're good with the colors?
