Chinese Moon Festival
Last night we had a picnic at a local park with a lot of friends from Families with Children from China New England. We shared stories about our visits to China, admired all our collective children and ate some delicious moon cakes.
Then it was off to the nearby pond where we listened to the story of Houyi and his wife Chang Er who became the moon goddess.
And then the children got to light some small candles and set them afloat in the lake. We watched them and the beautiful full moon rising over the lake.
What a wonderful way to spend an evening.
