Cirque Du Soleil

This past weekend my brother came to visit for a couple days.  He has been wanting to go see Cirque du Soleil- Totem for a while now.  They are touring and are currently in San Fran.  Danny's Friend Luis and his family decided to come visit us last minute so on Saturday we all traveled to San Fran.  Danny, Elia, Luis and his family walked around Pier 39 while Malcolm and I had quite the adventure figuring out S.F transportation/metro/bus system. After taking two different trains and running across a couple bridges, we finally got to the parking lot where the tents were set up 10 minutes into the show.  Words can't express how INCREDIBLE the show was, I felt like a little kid at the circus.  I was in awe, with the ability these performers had to manipulate their bodies, their strength and flexibility, the costumes, make-up, and live music.  I don't think I have seen so many 6 packs on so many people in one room like I did that day, can you say "Eye Candy!"  Anyway, all in all the show was phenomenal.  Having an appreciation for the performing arts and a little knowledge of what it takes to put on a show, oh boy, they surpassed my expectations (not that my expectation means much)... As my sister would say "I am no longer a Cique Du Soleil virgin"  I have now become a groupie. I would pay money to watch another show in a heart beat, it is worth every penny!  I loved watching the hoop dancer too, although he only made one world, unlike Living Legends who makes two... ji ji

Elia's 1st Halloween

I think Danny and I were more excited about Halloween for Elia then she was... obviously! But we had fun. We went to a pumpkin patch for the first time, our ward party, trick or treating with cousins and then to Danny's Halloween soccer game!  Elia had an eventful weekend and was the cutest Strawberry ever!
