We took Athena and a couple of her close friends to the Turkish circus that was in town in a shopping mall parking lot. It did not disappoint.
Dancers and acrobatics
Apparently, when you get rid of the animals it works well enough to have humans just put on animal costumes and keep going with the same routines. By the way, the brown guy/girl on the right...fox/chipmunk with antlers or deer with long tail? Blue fox/wolf is obviously a blue fox/wolf.
This ribbon dancer was definitely a highlight of the afternoon.
Athena & Alin enthralled
Even the big kids were impressed!
There were also these (plus a few other) bobble headed characters who are apparently portrayals of famous Turkish musicians. I personally like the old lady with the bell on the right.
And we still had time for another round of cake after the circus.
