The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節), also known as the Moon Festival or Zhongqiu Festival is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese people. Dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty, it was first called Zhongqiu Jie (literally "Mid-Autumn Festival") in the Zhou Dynasty.[1] In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival.

Kids and adults play under the moon and the man-made "moon".
father and daughter pose for a photo with their plastic lanterns or glow sticks
and of course a photo of my little boy doing his version of the "blue steel".
He's a week old today and he gave his mom her first "fountain" today. :)
