Gung Hay Fat Choy!

This afternoon we went to the Danville Library to check out the White Crane Lion Dance Troupe. We watched them chase out the old and greet the New Year with a performance of the Lion Dance.

The little guy was mesmerized. He pretty much sat like this for 20 minutes.


I am hoping with all the loud drumming, his hearing is still intact.


Most kids were excited about the lion (which he was), but Andrew thought the drums were even cooler. When I would point as the lion climbed up high on a platform, little man would yell "drums!" He could barely take his eyes off of them.


After the lion's performance...

little guy was shocked to see the lion up close and personal when
he went cavorting around the room.

Andrew waved and smiled and just stared in shock as the big lion walked right by him.


At the finale, the little dude cheered... but as soon as the drummers packed up, he said "all done" and booked it out of the library.


He said "loud" over and over again as we walked back to our car and every time I mentioned the lion, he smiled big and said "drums!' Such a fun afternoon!
