Cavalia

This weeekend we had the pleasure of attending Cavalia in Portland Oregon. Now your probably wondering what exactly is Cavalia. In a sense its like a circus but its WAY WAY WAY above and beyond. Cavalia has top notch acrobats that dance with some amazing horses. Honestly there is no way to describe the show we watched. It is something you really have to experience for yourself. Through the whole show we were all mesmerized.

To get a better understanding check out www.cavalia.org  they have videos and pictures of what their show is all about. We were not allowed to take pictures during the show, so I have a limited amount of pictures. The show is only in this area once a year, with that in mind we went all out and treated ourselves to the VIP passes. Appetizers, dessert, wine, private VIP tent, and backstage passes. The overall experiences was well worth it.

They have 5 tents, the largest one cost 5 million

The whole Cavalia group

This gal reminded me of Haylie, wild and  a daredevil

The flying girls were Haylie's favorite

Even for non horse lovers this is a must see show!!

On our way home we stopped at the fish hatchery just outside of Hood River at the Bonneville Dam. Haylie had more fun feeding the ducks then seeing the fish.

The ducks were more fun to feed then the fish.

I love how this shows snow, green, and  fall leaves
