Kooza!


Over the Thanksgiving holiday my mom treated us with tickets to Cirque du Soleil. She watched Arden so that we could enjoy the show with Sawyer. For anyone who isn't familiar with Cirque du Soleil, its like the circus only better - there aren't any elephants and they serve white wine in plastic wine glasses. Through luck of the draw we ended up with front row seats. The show was UNBELIEVABLE. PHENOMENAL. OUTRAGEOUS. Sawyer was mildly terrified. Especially when the room went dark and the strobe lights started flashing and the music kicked in at about 5 million decibels. He cried when a giant costume dog barked at him, but he was oddly unafraid of the army of skeleton suits. He spent the first part of the show burying his head in my shoulder, but peeking. The second half he applauded and shouted hooray at the end of every trick. I wonder if he'll remember it down the road. It's definitely left an impression on me.
