Days One Hundred and Four to One Hundred and Six.

On Saturday I got to go to the CIRCUS. Our Russian teacher told me that the Circus was one of the main things any visitor to Ukraine should go see. I can't remember ever going to a circus before, but it was unlike anything I expected.



The trainer was so cute with these guys- every time they'd do something right, he'd hug them around their gigantic necks. The one in the back was massive- he couldn't even fit his whole body on his stool.



Lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Well, not all at once. The girl trainer took Simba up on a swing at one point- I half expected him to attack her. I don't know how I feel about training wild animals like that. I feel so bad for them. [When the bear got taken up in the swing, he was so scared he peed everywher!]



It was so wierd seeing this giant bear prancing around these dogs. It's just not right.



These guys were incredible. They were probably the best part of the whole circus.



Maybe I should get really buff and learn how to do this.



They're like giant, spiky hampsters.



This was so wierd. She rolls out a cage filled with mice, a cat and a chicken. Then they have to sit in their various posts and then the porcupines had to walk on he round wheels and make the whole thing spin. It made me kind of sad.



I couldn't stop laughing when this group came out. They jump around and do insane tricks on these giant rubber wheels. This girl is double dutching on it right now.



Lynsie- and then the rest of the group.
