These are our Chinese outfits! We got to wear them to school for the Temple Fair! That is a big carnival with lots of great food, dancers, a parade, jugglers (on unicycles!!), a Chinese band, and fun things to do. We also each performed a song in Chinese with our classes. S did some dancing and Kung Fu and J did some traditional Chinese dancing and poetry. It was so fun!
These cool animals are made out of candy! The man would take a piece of soft candy and put a straw into the middle, then blow into it and make it into an animal in just a few seconds. We watched him for about 15 minutes, and we still can't figure out how he does it. Watch the video, it is so amazing!
These are the dragons from our parade--the middle school kids got to be inside them!
This video has a few minutes of everything--the lion dance parade, the jugglers on unicycles, the Chinese band, all kinds of cool stuff!
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!
I like your Chinese outfits, they are very stylish and probably very comfortable. I'm very amazed with the candy looking animals. I'm interested in seeing how they make those.
