Happy Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival!

Just in case you missed some previous posts; we decorated with bright colourful Chinese lanterns, pulled out and ironed one of Lilah's lovely cheongsams (from China) and also tried to make mooncakes. All in the spirit of Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival! It's been a very fun week!

To top it all off, this afternoon we went to Chinatown. There is a festival on this weekend, called FestivAsia, which has many fun events. We spent the best part of our afternoon watching the little children dance. So sweet. Lilah was completely mesmerized. Before we went home we dropped in to Mekong, one of our favourite Chinese restaurants and had supper. It was a really nice special day.

Tonight we took a walk down the street so we could see and photograph the moon (at it's brightest - of course) and guess what, there was no moon, that's how overcast it was in our area! I should also say, when we are out driving at night Lilah loves to see the moon, she's mesmerized with it and talks about 'the moon' and 'man on moon' a lot.

All our pictures from today are here.
