Mid Autumn Moon Festival / Willie Phoenix Band

What does the Chinese Mid Autumn Moon Festival and The Willie Phoenix band have in common? Well, nothing that I know of but we did both this weekend on Saturday.

About a week ago we ran into M's international drumming teacher, Ray Winburn who plays in the Willie Phoenix band. He told us that they'd be playing at the North Market on Saturday and to come on down. We did! Check the video below with M playing the conga.



What a blast! A BIG thanks to Willie and Ray for giving M, as she puts it "The best day of my life". When you get a chance check out the web page for the band at www.williephoenix.com
find out where they're playing and and go see them in person.

Two hours later we were at the Central Ohio Families with Children from China (COFCC) Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. I don't know if K really got alot out of it, except some Cheez-its from a very kind lady sitting next to us. Daddy and M made paper fish lanterns, everyone lined up and marched arou
nd the field. Still too light out to see the lanterns glowing but had fun with everyone. Later we ate Moon pies. Traditionally you'd eat Moon Cakes but the Moon pie's were too hard to resist..



A weekend to remember!
