During the harvest full moon season the Chinese celebrate with what they call the Mid-Autumn Holiday or Mooncake Festival.  We were happy to have the day off from school, so the girls and I met up with some friends at a nearby park for a picnic lunch.   We were so blessed with a beautiful blue sky day (which we don’t get very often).

That evening we celebrated by eating some mooncakes, which were given to us from our Malaysian and Chinese friends.
