Chinese New Year Celebration

Today was the Chinese American Chamber of Commerce's Chinese New Year Celebration. It was kind of cold and overcast, but we figured we would check it out anyway. It ended up being more of a flea market with some performances from various Asian cultures. Taiko drummers, Polynesian dancers, a Chinese opera singer, and lion dancers, whose costumes are shown below.


I didn't really get to watch these performances however. Why? Because someone in the Chamber of Commerce had the brilliant idea of having a bounce house. There is nothing better than going somewhere for a little culture with your daughter and seeing a bounce house. You know that you will be spending your time watching her jump up and down, while catching brief glimpses over your shoulder at the performances on the stage. They sounded good, and Zorah had a blast. Two of the unschooling families were there, so Zorah got to bounce with friends.
