Today we went down to Chinatown to celebrate Chinese New Years with Kristen and Chris. There was a parade with lots of lion dances, food stands that smelled awesome, martial arts shows and some Chinese dancing. Makaela was working on a 20 minute nap all day, so I opted to take the stroller, which didn't prove to be too convenient in a crowd that large. Makaela got to watch the lion dancing and feed dollar bills to the dragons. At first she was a little spooked, but caught on very quickly. She also loved the drums and she and Kristen were the only people dancing to the drums in the crowd. After dancing came the face painting. Then uncle Chris showed her how to throw the poppers which she proceeded to throw into a crowd of people- thanks Chris :-) She also go to climb into a Honolulu Fire truck and proceeded to cry her eyes out when we took her out of it (maybe following in Uncle Mike's footsteps).
Tired and sulking by the end of the night.
