Chinese New Year 2010

Today we went to the Lion dance that was taking place on Somerset between 1-3 pm. It was great fun! Here are a couple of pics of the event.






We had a great time following the Lion dance down Somerset Street as it visited a number of stores. What was interesting was that the lion would eat a head of lettuce at each location. I will have to look up the meaning of that some time! Also, Theo was totally thrilled about getting gifts at the parade. He received two red envelopes with quarters in them as well as a sort of light wand from the owner of Giant Tiger, who was accompanying the parade down the street with the Giant Tiger maskot.

Theo had a blast that day! :)
