The Lion Dance:
There are actually two men inside the lion costume. It was SO cool to watch them work together to make the lion appear to be dancing to the beat of the drums.
I held my breath every time they would climb on top of each other! The entire dance was really dangerous - but very entertaining.
Lots of beautiful dragons on display around the island - this one was made with hundreds of tiny bottles filled with colored water.
This one is made out of porcelain plates, cups and bowls!
This one is made out of candy!
I guess you might call this man a "candy artist". He was so talented and could make animal suckers out of liquid candy in just seconds...
The Chinese market - WOW it was crowded!
Now I can see why Andy likes Chinatown so much. He's tall!
So much going on in the city:
Maggie was so surprised (and a little nervous, I think!) when she was called out of the crowd to be a part of the juggling act.
...and then Mia was chosen too! How lucky is that?
one night we took the subway into town to avoid traffic/parking - here are the girls on our way back looking at all of their funny pictures/video that they shot from the night. They were entertaining everybody on the subway because they were laughing so hard. :)
This giant dragon took up half a city block - literally!
And of course I took this opportunity to declare a "craft day"...
This was the BEST Chinese New Year craft! (thank you, Pinterest) It took the girls a couple of hours to make these, and then they spent the rest of the night putting on shows with their new dragon puppets. :)
This month's Starbucks gift card - love it!
