At Christmas time, Kevin and Beth bought our family tickets to Cirque du Soleil, Ovo. Friday was circus day and we headed to Santa Monica not really knowing what to expect. Jenna missed her dear friend's birthday celebration, and we also missed rehearsals for our Stake production, but I knew it would be a great experience for our family, and it was. Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe how good it was. Jenna sat next to me, and several times she leaned over and said, "That was so cool." Let me just say that Jenna is not easily impressed. There were no pictures allowed inside the tent (which we found out as we took some), so it's impossible to "show" what the experience was all about. You can get an idea of the tent and our seats from the photos we have, and suffice it to say that the performers skills were beyond belief. Just when you thought they'd done something awesome, they did something even more beyond belief. We were blown away.
We walked back to the car along the boardwalk near the Santa Monica Pier. For some reason, I was excited to point out to my girls that this was an actual boardwalk--a walk made of boards. I don't know if they were impressed, but it was fun to see the Santa Monica pier all lit up at night as we walked along the beach. We found some swings and gym rings on the beach, and the girls did some circus inspired moves for us. We're still talking about our circus experience and cannot thank our dear family enough for making this unique adventure possible. Thank you!!!
