Asian Festival

 

 

We got to attend the Asian festival again.  This was Yiyi's first time.  Hope went last year just a couple months after she was home.  We love watching the Lion dance and Chinese dancers. They also got pet the animals and eat Chinese food.  We met up with Abby and her family again.  It was nice seeing them and the girls got to hang out.

 

 

 

Asian festival, Get Air and Birthday party

Wow what a crazy busy weekend.  First a full day in Portland with Zoe's dance team and then a full day in Eugene for the Asian Festival and a birthday party.

We left early to get to the Asian Festival when they opened at 10.  We watched the Lion dance first and the kids got to feed them money.  Then we walked around for a little bit, while visiting with another family that lives in Eugene that adopted a little girl from China.  We also got to reserve our tickets for a show at the end of March.  We are so excited to take the girls!

Then it was of to Get Air for a friends birthday.  It's a giant trampoline place.  All the kids got to jump, even little Hope.  Zoe found some other gymnast and hung out with them for the rest of the time doing flips.

Then off to Papa's pizza for the party.  Ryland was turning four!

Asian Festival

This weekend was the annual Asian Festival in Eugene.  We left bright and early so that we could be there when it opened.  We picked up my mom on the way since my dad was out of town.   We met the Blake family and hung out the whole day with them.  We started by watching the Lion dance and the girls put the dollar in the Lion's mouth.  Then we walked around the booths.  Zoe and Kayli got their faces painted while Steve received his first acupuncture.  The kids couldn't watch they thought it was too gross. We then went and ate, and then watched a few more shows before heading back home.  Later we had the Blake family and Grace (Zoe's new friend from class who is also from China here for the year with her Aunt and Mom)  over.  We had a great evening learning more about China and culture from Grace's family, not to mention some great food!
