Chinese New Year

We recently attended the local Chinese New Year festivities  downtown. We had a great time watching the Lion Dance, also called Dragon Dance. We learned that dragons are vegetarian and are attracted to the local shops by the cabbage (and envelopes of money) the shopkeepers hang in front of the store. We saw kung fu demonstrations and were totally overwhelmed by the firecrackers. Michael had fun filming everything and the baby thought the Kung Fu was fascinating.
