dragon boat festival


today the kids and I gave our patient some
quiet time here at home while we attended
the dragon boat festival (Duanwu festival)
sponsored by our local
Chinese cultural association

the heat combined with the scents of
Chinese food and people all around us speaking
mandarin made us all want to go back to China!

Gracie's dragon boat


Quinn's dragon boat





Gracie love the traditional "zhong zi"
( a steamed rice dumpling filled with bean paste
& wrapped in bamboo leaves)


getting ready for a game of "red light, green light"


guess who won?!!


another traditional food served at the festival!



waiting for the dragon boat race to begin

Gracie & Quinn's boats each came in second
in their individual races
