Last year I had the awesome pleasure of attending the Lone Star Circus. The Lone Star Circus is a Dallas-based non-profit circus. The shows are at the Dallas Children’s Theatre, which is very nice place. Small so you feel more involved with the show.
I took some photos from last years show, here are some of my favorites.
This is a different kind of circus. The only animals involved in the Lone Star Circus that I attended were dogs. The rest is all acrobatics, clowns, magicians and much more. It was fantastic and left my kids in absolute aww! I can not wait to go again this year.

Come early for the show to see some of the amazing kids from the Lone Star Circus School perform in a pre-show talent showcase in the theatre lobby!
I love Cirque Banquiste — we went last year, and it was amazing from start to finish.
My boys would love seeing the dogs! Just moved to the area a few months ago from FL and this looks like so much fun!
