At the Mann Center

for the performing arts, we (and a few hundred other folks) got to see some really cool stuff!  They had a summer kids' series.  Keegan, Kelsey, and I got to go twice and WE LOVED IT!  Caitlyn actually got to go once because The Rock School performed, but the rest of us missed that one :(.

These pictures are from a triple performance of Chinese opera (which is a combination of gymnastics and martial arts,) flamenco dancing, and African dancing.

The Chinese opera had incredible costumes!

 One of my clues that I needed to take Kelse to get her eyes checked :(.

 I loved the guy on stilts.  Keegan was crazy about the tiny kid dancers, who were awfully adorable.
One great thing about being in Philadelphia for such a long time was the opportunity to see things like these performances.  If we had only been there a week, we could have hit all the main attractions, but as it was, we had the opportunity to also seek out some less common experiences.  Once again, very cool :).
