Cirque not Circus...

I spent many days at the circus when my kids were growing up,
They loved the shows, acrobatics and the animals...
I didn't mind them, especially the good ones like Barnum and Bailey and Universoul...but,
The little musty, small tent ones were not my faves...
But my babies didn't know the difference,
So long as there were elephants and cotton candy...
Well...
One day about ten years ago,
I was sitting at home during a 100 degree day,
Flipping the channels and found Cirque du Soleil,
http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/saltimbanco/default.aspx
And feel head over heels in love,
Had never seen anything quite like it,
Instead of animals it was the most amazing acrobatics,
That told beautiful stories in movement...
I was mesmerized...
When I discovered my sister-in-law loved it as much I,
Oh man, I knew that one day we would see it together, LIVE...
Well this is the weekend,
She just had a big birthday and I wanted to do something fun...
So she will be here tomorrow and off to the Cirque we go,
As giddy as my kids were back in the day...
I know it is hard to tell but I am already excited....
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

LOVE and BLESSINGS!
