Football and a Chinese Festival

In September,we went to a Simpson College football game in Indianola, Iowa to see Kim's nephew Alex play.  Miaya wore her Jr. cheerleader outfit and had a great time cheering.  It was a great afternoon, mild temperatures, and best of all, Simpson pulled out a narrow victory after a big early lead.

After the game, it was on to West Des Moines for the Chinese Association's Mid Autumn Festival.

Where Miaya painted a lantern for the festival.

Then enjoyed some tasty chinese food.

 

And finished our time there watching the hot air balloons prepare for tethered rides, and a night glow.

We met a couple other China families and had a nice time.
