The Mayan...

One year ago yesterday, the Mayan Adventure Restaurant closed!

It was really sad because Lance, Tyce, Mary, Mccall and I were all working there together as performers. Lance, Tyce and Mary had been working there for years! It was such a fun job and it provided so many opportunities. . . . the Mayan was the reason Lance was recruited to dive in the circus in China and the reason I ended up learning how to do trapeze, silks and lyra!

When the restaurant closed, we were able to get in to get our equipment, costumes, and to play on the cliffs one last time.

A Fairy Wedding

Sally and Joie got married! They had a fairy themed wedding up at the Theater in the Pines Campground near Sundance. Everyone had to arrive in costume!!

Holden, Hope, Mary & Tyce
(Tyce's costume was a bit frightening!)

As part of the evening entertainment, Mary performed on corde lisse and I performed on aerial hoop.

I feel so honored that I was able to perform with amazing performers like Mary, Holden and Hope! I feel pretty good about my performance, considering I had a baby 2 months ago! There's lots to improve upon, but it is good to have a starting off point!

San Diego

We took Jade on her first ever road trip/vacation last week! We drove to San Diego so we could visit Tyce and Mary. They have been living in California and performing in Cirque de la Mer at Sea World, so they hadn't met Jade yet!

I was so nervous about taking Jade on such a long drive, but she was awesome! She mostly just slept and only got fussy when she was hungry (I get pretty fussy when I'm hungry too). We spent the first night outside of Vegas in a place called Whiskey Pete's.....oh boy was it whiskey!! .....holes in the walls and ceiling, carpet that must have been put in by Pete himself eons ago...


San Diego was really nice. The weather felt fantastic! We enjoyed swimming, exploring Old Town, going to the Mormon Battalion visitors center, watching the Olympics, and attending shows in Sea World.
