Tonight was the first FCC event that we have attended, (Families with Children from China). At this time of year, actually I believe it's Tuesday the 25th (this year), the Chinese celebrate the Autumn Moon Festival. Our FCC chapter met at a Chinese restaurant for dinner and then had activities in the back for the kids. They had face painting which Taylor only wanted to watch, and craft tables set up. The Autumn Moon Festival is the 2nd biggest holiday in China behind Chinese New Yr. The great thing about the restaurant was they had made moon cakes, which is alot of hard work and is a big Chinese tradition for this holiday. Last year I looked into ordering some to celebrate and they were $20 for 4 of them and they are very small. I also checked into local Chinese restaurants and they didn't/don't make them, so it was nice that we were able to try them. We drove 80 miles(one way) and were probably only there 1.5 hours but it is nice to learn about Chinese holidays and share it with other families that have also adopted.
