Roots

This past weekend we got back to our roots. Well, The men in my life did. I guess I am mearly a supporter of the Asian community. ... I mean come on, I supplied a whole human being to the Asian community so that's gotta count for something! hahaha! Eugene held it's annual Asian Celebration and this year they celebrated their 25th year! It was held at the Lane Events Center at the Lane County Fairgrounds. They had whole rooms dedicated to art and history, food and performances, and what person in their right mind would leave out the gigantic room of craft booths that don't really belong at ANY festival!

We saw beautiful displays of Orchids from some of the Orchid nurserys in town. There were a couple Bonsai tree displays but the pictures of those were terrible so I didn't include them. (I have lighting issues!)

Mainly, it was so nice to get out of the house during a sunny weekend in February. Very uncharacteristic of Eugene during the Winter. Even the Cherry Blossom Trees have bloomed!



Father and son. Ryan is teaching Junebug the importance of the meat/rice combo spoonfull. Important stuff.

Digging in.

Again with the lighting. These flouescents were tricky. The dancers were great though!

What two year old can resist the face painting booth? There were lots of designs to choose from. And like the realistic parents we are, we chose the design that took the least amount of time. heehee. He loved it!

Ok, here are the orchids I was talking about. Amazing!!! I can't decide if I love them or hate them but they definitely intrigue me. Look at that!! I am a big fan of any type of art form or life form that makes you question everything. These flowers definitely had me wondering what they were and why they look the way they do. Awesome.

More Orchids.

This is a tree in our front yard about to flower. The fuzzy shell around the bloom is soooo soft. They are going to be beautiful. I hope they stick around all Spring.

Some photos of the Cherry Blossoms around town.
