Light in the sky (Lantern Festival)

If you want to see something that thousands of people go to and it lights up the sky then the Lantern Festival is for you! My husband turned 43 and I wanted to do something really spectacular for his birthday. This was something I had seen in the years past posted and wanted us to be able to see it for ourselves. It was beyond amazing!

First, we got there and there are hundreds of fire pits that you can go and sit around to roast marshmallows that came in your kit. We walked around and around and decided to be more by the band that was playing while we waited for darkness to fall. I finally found a spot that looked halfway open and a lady with a kind face. So we decided to sit down there. As soon as we sat down the lady with the kind face said " Aren't you Lo's best friend?" I just was like uhm YES! lol. Comes to find out she is a good friend of Lo's also who is in her book club. What a small world since Lo and I live 5 hours away from each other. It was nice to sit with someone who knows someone at least. We started to make stuff on our lanterns that would soon go up in the air. I just laughed because I am so not an artist and then there is my husband all creative and crap! Geesh! One of the many reasons why I married him ha!

As it started to get dark we were rather excited as it was time to do the lanterns. They did a countdown with some amazing music in the background. Once everything went up into the sky it was so glorious! Just an awesome thing to see in real life. I could see the huge smile on my husbands face that really showed how much he liked it. He even got sang happy birthday too. My husband was pretty sure that all these thousands of people came out just for his birthday which cracked me up. If you ever have a chance to see something like this I would suggest you go. It was pretty spectacular. This happened over a week ago but I had so many pictures that I just had to pick my favorite ones. Hopefully, just by these pictures, you can see how wonderful it was. Let me tell you thought it was much more perfect in real life. So....here are the pictures of my husbands 43rd birthday celebration. He somehow is going to have to come up with something even better for my birthday which I think isn't possible. It was just so amazing!Love, Ro
