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.

  1. Having nothing to do with your blog... I recently read your post from 1998 about a boy whos father wanted his hair shorter, but mom did not agree.

    Your for if talking to dad did not work, than explain to the boy about being able to make life a little less stress for dad was AMAZING! Good call. I am thrilled to see such wonderful advice and will remember your suggestion for situations in our home. THANK YOU!
