Moon Festival

Last night, the family and I celebrated the Chinese Moon Festival.  It is part of the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the BIG Chinese holidays.  Grandma Joyce sent us some Moon Cakes to share, I did some research on line to get the reasons for celebrating the moon.  Tradition is to set out Moon Cakes and Watermelon, spend time with family and look at the moon.  So that is what we did.  I am sure the people driving by our house wondered why we were out on the porch at 8 PM in the dark.  And why Pete and Zach were silly dancing to the Chinese music CD that my sister got Molly for a baptism gift.  Or why Mike was searching the garden after dark for the last watermellon (can I just say we did not pre-plan well).  Then we just sat together, enjoying the night and our family.  We are blessed.  Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
