We went to see the Cirque Montage show
that our daughter Leann and her dance
partner Simmone are a part of. It was a
great show, if you get to Branson
don't miss it.
A very talented ensemble.
Great music.
Colorful costumes.
What a cute duo.
At this point in the show my Hubby
and I were getting a bit nervous.
I thought her Father was
beginning to look rather unhappy.
Okay, when will this part be over?
My jaw was beginning to hurt
from all the clenching!
My hubby was looking
rather pale...........
It was finally over.
We survived.
It really was a great show!

ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, She very talented, but I sure wish she'd do something a little safer!
DeleteI think it would be fun to go to Wal Mart in that black-n-white suit. :~P
ReplyDeleteTwo very talented artists! Thanks for posting.
Funny you should say that Jan, when you live near Branson it's not unusual to see lots of make up or wierd hair do's at the grocery store, and yes Walmart too.
DeleteThey used to have a 50's show and I used to see some big pompadoo's!!
Wow what can I say...it took my breath away! Fantastic photos, it made me feel like I was at the show! Very colorful costumes and your daughter is beautiful and very talented.
