Chinese New Year Spectacular

I went to a Chinese New Year dancing show with my Mom. I saw lots of dancers and some Chinese opera. The dancers put cups on top of their heads while they danced. Some people used huge fans while they danced. They were called fan dancers. There were dragon drummers. They pounded on drums to sound like a dragon. I loved it!

My Birthday

I had my birthday party at the nature center. I liked seeing all the turtles and going on a hike outside. We saw fox poop and bird and squirrel nests. I saw a few birds: woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches. We all made birdfeeders. Then we had a pinata. We ate cake and opened presents. Last we got to take out two turtles and touch them!
