Ok-these pictures aren't great, but they are the only pics I have of Chinese New Year. A holiday where everything pretty much shuts down, everyone goes back to their hometown, and people shoot fireworks off EVERY night for two weeks. And I am not talking sparklers here people. There are people shooting fireworks in the middle of a group of people that in America you could only shoot off on a barge in the middle of a lake. Loud. Big. probably pretty dangerous. My boys LOVED it. Any one surprised?:)
Everyone was really safe in these pictures. The kids were watching Matt and our friend Nate set off relativly small fireworks.
The worst part of the fireworks come at about 11 at night when youa re trying to go to sleep. And they are SO LOUD! The kids wake up, are scared, can't fall back asleep. One of the times it is hard for me to embrace the culture with a happy heart :)
But we can sleep in peace now--until next year.
