Year of the Dragon

Today we went to Downtown Chinatown to watch the annual Chinese New Year parade. We arrived around 11, ate dim sum, and found a shaded spot to watch the parade. The parade consisted of politicians, bands, and dragon dances; and every now and then something interesting would appear. The kids liked seeing The Lorax and Mulan with Mushu, while Trung and I found the Batmobile and Mystery Mobile amusing. Afterwards, the girls made a lantern at a craft table and we just wandered around. I don't know if we'll come back again next year, but it was nice checking it out.


Fireworks!


Watch out behind you!


All about the Benjamins


The Lorax


We rarely go to McDonald's, so I wasn't sure if the girls would know who this was



I found these drummers pretty interesting



The best performance of the parade, too bad they didn't perform closer to us

Getting crafty



The girls will always stop to play with bubbles
