Cirque du Soleil

Rick and I have enjoyed several performances of Cirque du Soleil in the past. Our first one was Varekai in Chicago with Rick's sister and the second was Kà in Vegas with some of Rick's coworkers. When we heard they were coming to Knoxville for Cirque Dreams Illumination, we figured Millie would really enjoy it so we got front row balcony seats for all three of us and looked forward to a special evening with Millie while my mom (have I mentioned that she is the BEST!) stayed with Reed at the house.

A quick photo before we left...she insisted on wearing a UT bow that my sister got her.


She was looking over the menu at Cafe' 4 on Market Square downtown.


After dinner, we had a little photo time on the walk to the theater.


Her pose for the evening seemed to be this for some reason.


Oh well, at least she was attempting to work with me a little.


Rick finally finished up on the phone and was able to take a picture of Millie and I.


Rick had a little to do with this.



She got pretty excited when our 2 block walk was over and she spotted the Theater.


A few more photos along the way.



Our entertainment for the evening.


The Tennessee Theater really is a beautiful building. It was too dark to get any photos inside.


I asked Millie when it was over if she liked going to the movies better or if she liked the theater better and she voted for the theater. It was great watching her watch the show. She was very excited and amazed by the performers. She was clapping and cheering after every act. She kept asking why they were so much trickier than she is and how in the world can they bend like that? All good questions!
