Cirque Du Soleil


So on Friday night we went on a double date to Cirque Du Soleil. It was playing at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. I didn't really know what to expect other than it would be a lot of acrobatic performances. We first got there and I was surprised that it was going to be outside in a big circus tent. Jackie and I had done some research before going and read about how Cirque Du Soleil started and the version we were going to was called Corteo. It was about a clown that was having a dream about his funeral and this funeral was taking place at a Carnival. So the whole story was very random. From scene to scene it was totally different things. It had a scene of bunch of performers jumping on beds, and a scene of three guys rolling around in hoops, and then it was a tight rope walker, and then next a hoop spinning lady, plus a golfing scene, followed by more acrobatics on trampolines and ropes. A "small person" attached to balloons that floated around the audience, and then all of a sudden it just ended after more acrobatics this time on bars. It was very interesting but also probably the weirdest show I have ever seen. Jackie thought it was really cool and we had a really good time. Spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and watching conference. It was nice to be able to watch conference from our apartment and Tyler's place this time. Jackie and I tried to make a movie this weekend on our computer and so we were looking at our wedding pictures. So I thought I would add this picture of us doing acrobatics at our wedding. This picture makes me laugh.

Criscell is very jelous. She no longer wants to live with me but would much rather spend her days living in your spare room. She has always wanted to see Cirque Du Soleil. She says she has been begging for the last 4 years. You guys rock.

You should be put in the show for sure. I don't think anybody could look that bad, oh I mean good on a trampoline. HA! I love you! Anyway, I think Cirque Du Soleil are some of the best shows. I loved the one that I saw in Vegas. It's amazing what people can do.
Nice Acrobats....
