DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL 2008

Last weekend we attended the Dragon boat Festival at Phalen Park in St Paul, it was a really beautiful day, lots going on. Piper was THRILLED to see the "dragon festibal', one of her favorite episodes of Ni Hao KaiLan is about dragonboat racing so she was pumped up to see the boats on the lake, as well as all the martial arts demonstrations. Our local FCC(Families with Children from China) boat team came second in a field of over twenty teams, next year Mike is interested in picking up a paddle, perhaps that will help them get to first place??

It was nice to see some people we had met at Diana's party a few months ago, and to spend the day in the sunshine. Of course, you cannot visit a park without trying out all the playground equipment.

As you can see, Paisley is still a little unsure of the swings, hopefully she will get the hang of it like her big sister did.
