Cirque du Soleil

Last night we went to go see Cirque du Soleil, Saltimbanco as they came through Cypress. We had such a great time! Jason and I are thoroughly amazed at the talent, imagination and passion shown from each performer. These people are amazing! I sit with my eyes wide in awe every time. They are the best acrobats, contortionist, dancers, performers, musicians, artists, etc all combined! I am fascinated how they can have so many different shows that are all different and yet all so captivating. I can watch these people perform for hours!

Last October, Jason and I got to see La Nouba at their Downtown Disney studio while we were in Florida. We had the best seats! We could actually see every one's faces. Again, I have no words to describe how great these shows are. If you ever get a chance to see one, it is WELL WORTH the money. I mean it!!
