On Saturday we celebrated the Harvest Moon Festival at Van Dusen Gardens with other families that have adopted children from Vietnam. I always love these events because I get to see so many of the children who have come to live in Canada with their forever family. It is so encouraging for us to see so many healthy, happy children knowing that soon we will have our own little one to add to the mix! Events like this are one way that we will help our little boy come to know his culture as well as keeping him connected with other children who have been adopted from Vietnam.
This photo was taken at the start of the lantern parade around the gardens. The procession was followed by a very tasty dinner. After dinner the children got to enjoy a skit and a puppet show about Moon Festival Traditions in Vietnam. And of course there was plenty of Moon cake to go around! I can’t wait until next year when we can share this event with our own little one.
