Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

Last weekend we were invited to enjoy a traditional Asian celebration. Our friends from our homeschool co-op have two daughters, Chloe (who is from China) and Naiya (who is from Vietnam). In both of these countries the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is celebrated. We were very honored to celebrate this special occasion with our new friends! We also enjoyed all the delicious Asian food :) Here are some highlights of the evening...
