Saturday morning we headed to a Lunar New Year celebration about an hour away. We spent almost half an hour driving around trying to find parking! We rolled up in our stroller just in time to catch the parade. C was excited!
Lil' peanut was skeptical. Ha! He does not do well in the cold (a boy after my own heart) and spent most of the parade saying "all done" and "bye bye." :)
Even though the parade featured different performance groups from various Asian cultures, it made me miss Korea! I want to go back!!!
Daddy and C had to get a better view of the dragon. C's favorite part, he said.
Lil' peanut's turn to get up close and personal with the dragon.
Meeting the panda was actually the only time lil' peanut cracked a smile the whole time!
After the parade we headed to the arts center where they were having arts and crafts for the kids. C made a lucky rattlesnake egg, they both made snake masks (2013 is the year of the snake, by the way!) and then we got in the very long, slow moving line for face painting. About 20 minutes into that lil' peanut decided he was hungry and tired and DONE! And he let us (and everyone else in the room!) know. ;) C was bummed he didn't get his face painted but actually totally impressed me with how well he dealt with the disappointment (ie we only had one crying kid on the way out the door). It was busy and crowded, but fun. I'm glad we went!
