Cavalia's Odysseo - Denver, CO

 
This fall I saw that this show was coming to Denver.  Denver was the only stop in the United States and it was going to be there for 10 days.  I knew Chloe would DIE in happiness by seeing this show, but I also wanted Isaac to see the show to appreciate the fine arts and professional quality shows like this. 
 
Tickets were ordered for the three of us and my dad, Granddad.
 
The day we were to leave for Denver, Isaac came home sick from school :-(
Poor boy started throwing up and we knew his portion of the trip was cancelled. 
 
The tickets were age-specific, youth and adult tickets. 
So Chloe invited Tessa and we were able to leave early Saturday, the day of the show. 
 
This is us surviving the 5 hour trip to Granddads! 

 
Dressed and ready for the show!

They put up their own tent and arena.  It is an absolutely amazing structure that seats about 2,000.

We had VIP tickets which allowed us to eat in the VIP lounge, meet the artists, endless desserts and drinks, and tour the horse stables after the show. 






I can not begin to say what an amazing day this was.  Chloe did not sit back in her seat for the entire first half of the show.  She was on the edge -- I paid attention -- for real.  It was magical, it was calm, it was beautiful artistry, and it had amazing horses.  She and Tessa were on cloud 9.  I am absolutely honored that dad and I were able to take them to witness such an amazing show. 
 
We ate at Hard Rock Café at the 16th Street Mall after the show and we even got a Pedi cab ride while we were there.  During a quick trip to Target I pushed the cart while Chloe and Tessa did trick-riding on the shopping cart through the store.  It was quite hilarious.
Back at dad's the girls loved playing with their souvenir horses from the show and set up quite the obstacles in the basement for the horses to ride through.  Isn't it amazing what a show can do to spark imaginative play?  Ah, I love it. 
 
We were in Denver for less than 24-hours but our hearts were so happy!
