As with previous years, we celebrated Mid-Autumn festival with ice-cream mooncake, lantern strolling, sparklers, moon viewing and some playground fun. Due to the recent haze at hazardous levels, I was concerned that we couldn't celebrate this occasion outdoors. My children and I prayed for good air-quality and God deemed it fit to answer our humble prayers. Hallelujah!
There were many passers-by who commented that our led-lighted paper lanterns were both practical and in-keeping with the traditional feel at the same time. One even asked us where we bought them. However, they were given to us last year so I really had no idea where to get this type of lanterns now.
The TNT sparklers we bought this years were obviously of very poor quality. They extinguished very quickly and produced sooooo much smoke that we thought we were creating our very own haze conditions!
All-in-all, we had fun. I'm so glad that Joram is old enough this year to thoroughly enjoy in full the activities with the rest of us.
