Festival Practice

As we were leaving the Taiwanese Lunar New Year event we attended this year, a woman approached us and asked if the kids would be interested in doing a performance on behalf of the country of Taiwan at the Festival of Nations. The Festival is a huge event in the Twin Cities in May that celebrates numerous countries. We agreed, and have been practicing every weekend. Jia is also participating, even though she was adopted from China, as the theme this year is "Peace." :-)

It has been so wonderful to get to know the other girls and their moms. I love that all the kids are becoming friends. The moms have also been able to tell Willa all about Taiwan and being Hakka, and they chose a special Hakka fabric for the costume! 

Today, they had a rehearsal before the festival committee. 

They did a terrific job!
