Overdue Chinese New Year Playdate Post...

Some of our families from the local Chinese play group got together not far from here in Georgia where one of the families lives. We went to a state park to play, then changed into our traditional outfits to go to a Chinese restaurant. We had a great time! I intended to post this the week after we did the formal celebration at a local university- the one where the girls were in the fashion show, but time got away from me... We decided to do a "Red couch" pic of our own, but it seems like my colors are too bright. I am still learning and playing with my new camera.
Dinner was REALLY good. Connie, Bella's mom, got all the girls trainer chopsticks, and the girls had fun breaking them in! It got a little messy, though.
Gracie has a great appetite and tries most everything. We really are so lucky in that respect. (She takes after me!) She is learning not to talk with her mouth full.
Harry was in control and had all the girls at one end of the long table eating around him. He got them all so giggly and LOUD! Then they started running around the table (It wasn't very busy and the owner's son was playing too). When he started taking pictures, he got them to take a silly picture, of course! The owner and her son are to the left of the group.

Charley, Olivia, Anna Grace, and Gracie. The other girls in the picture are all 6 years old.

Snack break in the back of one family's mini-van. The girls thought it was cool!

sweet... looks like a lot of fun. Red is a hard color to edit.
