A Sight for Sore Eyes

Since we didn’t purchase a pool membership this year (see previous post), we decided instead to go for season passes to Six Flags.  We have finally reached the point where our passes have paid for themselves and we now start saving money.  Despite the fact that we have closed the park every time we’ve gone this summer, we had never made it to the Cirque de Soleil Cirque Dreams Coobrila show.  So when we went on Friday, we made it a point to go see this amazing performance.

We knew it would be good.  We’d heard plenty about Cirque de Soleil, and Crisana’s previous gymnastics teacher was once a performer with them.

We were completely unprepared for how good it would be.

Words cannot do this show justice.  There is so much going on simultaneously it would be impossible to describe it all.  The costuming, the acrobatics, the choreography all came together to create a stunning visual feast.  These videos aren’t great quality either, but enjoy snippets of our favorite parts of the show.

He’s spinning a metal box frame above his head.  Amazing.

And the final one for the night…
