We were able to celebrate the Chinese New Year as a family for a first time at a nearby restaurant. It was quite an adventure that I've never experienced before. The food was, of course, excellent, but the exciting part was the dragon dance midway through the evening. Two men wear a large dragon costume and maneuver their hands, backs, and entire bodies to make the movement of the dragon so lifelike. They have a drummer that accompanies them in their dragon dance and movement which is very loud. We were seated right where the dance began and the noise was quite shocking, as you can see in the faces of Dave and Bevan.
The dancing and drumming was so amazing and loud that it was all we could do to not watch the dragon dance. We all had similar looks on our faces.
As the dragon made his way around the room, Harris, Halen, Brigden, and cousin Jasen could "feed the dragon" by putting tips into his mouth. It was a bit scary, but they enjoyed the thrill of it.
It was a very enjoyable and different experience we're sure to repeat in the future.
