Chinese New Year

I was excited to take Jasper to the Chinese New Year Cultural Festival which happens annually a the Oregon Convention Center. The lions are captivating, and they are sure to auspiciously eat some greens and spit them out again!  

Jasper couldn't quite believe they actually gave all the kids lucky red envelopes
with real dollar bills inside.
