Sep 24th 2012Dralion

Time has been flying lately and I have been remiss in keeping up with writing about things.  Take for instance, Dralion, the cool Cirque du Soleil show we say 9 days ago.  That’s good stuff and I haven’t written about it for 9 DAYS!  Well, as I mentioned in July, Emily and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary and our gift to each other was tickets for the family to see the show.  We got incredible tickets in the second row back.  They were acrobatting right in front of us!

So, I don’t know if you have ever seen a Cirque show but they are amazing acrobatic shows where the audience is left wondering if the laws of physics apply to the performers.  I am not kidding…the performers fly through the air and do things that people should not be able to do.  And they do it every day and somehow, apparently, survive to fly day after day.

I first saw the Cirque show called KA in Las Vegas (if you ever get the chance, see the show!).  It was amazing so I was so excited to see how the kids would react, seeing this show for themselves.  As much as I enjoyed seeing the show this time, I enjoyed even more seeing the look on Abigail’s face.  She couldn’t stay seated.  She perched in her seat, she sat cross-legged.  Her eyes lit up and she smiled and frowned and clapped.  It was so much fun to see her watch the show!

Even with things being so hectic, it was so wonderful to be able to share such a cool time as a family.  I don’t figure that things will slow down in the next month or two but it’s all in a day’s work around here!  We aren’t defying the laws of gravity around here but we are squeezing more into 24 hours that I ever thought possible!
