Me -In the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, my favorite part was the tigers and elephants. The tigers were so cute. There was one tiger that was very feisty and had a fight with the tiger tamer. Two of the tigers were white with light orange stripes. There was an elephant that painted a picture. In the beginning, you could enter a raffle right before the circus officially started. Somebody picked a name and the winner got to keep the elephant's painting. One of the elephants had a beard but they were all adorable. There were tight rope walkers acrobats and many many more.
Mom - The other week we went to the circus. Of course, I mean Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. I mean there are other circuses, and I have even been to a few, some of them quite bad and some okay. However, there is no other circus like Ringling Brothers. They don't call it "The Greatest Show on Earth" for nothing. Of course, some things have changed about the circus. There are no longer three rings only one. When I was a kid, you had to spin your circus own light, but the ones they sell now, you just push a button, and it spins itself. Circus lights were a lot smaller then too and not as fancy. They kind of looked like lighters on a string. In many other more important ways, however, the circus hasn't changed that much at all. There are still clowns and acrobats and tightrope walkers. There still tigers, and elephants and horses. There is still the ringmaster in charge of it all. It is nice in a way that the circus my daughters see today is so much like the circus I saw when I was a kid. I mean everything changes so fast these days. It is nice that there are still some things that stay basically the same.
And that's our view. Tune in again for another topic.

Favorite TV Shows
Me- My favorite shows are Full House and Wizards of Waverley Place. I like Wizards because it is cool and funny. I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty cool to be able to do spells to get what you want or date a werewolf. In an episode, Alex made herself stuck in a movie. In another episode, Alex and Justin turned Max into a little girl. It's cool because it's not every day your brother becomes a girl. Max and Jerry are the funniest ones on the show. Once, Max sat on a horse backwards and exclaimed,"My horse's head is on the wrong side!" It was funny because he was backwards not the horse. I love that show. My other favorite show is Full House. I can't shut up about it. Every time somebody says something it reminds me about Full House.
Mom - My current favorite show is Glee. In fact, I think it is my favorite show of all time. I have always been a sucker for musicals anyway both on stage and in the movies so a musical TV show is right up my alley. I just love the idea of being able to express every emotion in song. I wish life was like that. Instead of screaming and yelling or crying or whatever you could just burst into song. I think the world would actually be a lot more peaceful than. I also like that they sing so many different types of songs in Glee. Each generation gets to know some great songs that they might not otherwise be exposed to. I find that there are songs that I always loved that I love even more after I hear them on Glee, songs that I didn't really like but I end up liking after I hear them on Glee, and songs that I hadn't heard yet and many times probably wouldn't have bothered listening to if it wasn't for Glee but I ended up loving. Don't get me wrong I do not love every song they ever sing on the show. However, I have to admit that I do end up liking most of the songs. I have always had very eclectic taste in music anyway so Glee is perfect for me because they sing so many different types of songs. For me, Glee is the only show that is absolutely must see TV. Not only do I never want to miss an episode, I actually can't wait for every episode to air. Another show, I really used to like was Medium. I didn't care so much about the crimes Allison solved each week. I liked it more for the interaction between the various family members. It was very real to me and reminded me of my own family. However, because of that when they killed off Joe at the end of the series, it really bothered me because it felt like they were killing off a member of my own family. I also like The Big Bang Theory a lot because it is funny and because a good friend of our family, Melissa Rauch, is now a regular cast member of the show. Melissa is and always has been a really nice and really talented person, and I am so glad to see her doing so well.
