Chinese Lantern Festival

We managed to get to the Chinese Lantern Festival this year.   We went early, and got some supper there.  Afterwards, we just walked around for a while, then caught a show.  The show started with some spectacular drumming.   R like it, but only with her fingers in her ears to dull the noise.  Then came a dragon dance, then lots of Chinese Martial Arts demonstrations.   R is now very enthusuastically trying to imiatae the Martial Arts that she saw, it’s pretty funny.

 Once the sun went down, things were just beautiful.  It was a pleasantly warm evening, and the small ponds that were by the displays were so still, they acted like mirrors.   R also had a chance to play on the big drum, which supposedly brings the drummer luck.  Here are the pictures
