Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

This year we celebrated the Mid-Autumn moon festival (Chusok in South Korea and Tet Trung Thu in Vietnam) by walking around our neighborhood with brightly lit lanterns gazing at the moon and sharing some non-traditional "mooncakes" with our beloved friends, the Kensoras.  The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and is a gathering of family and friends to celebrate the harvesting of crops, giving thanks for the harvest and prayers for a good future. 

Hayden read the girls a traditional Vietnamese tale out of our Children of the Dragon book.
