Lantern Festival Tradition


Part two of our mid-autumn celebration was completed tonight. Since the old lanterns from previous years were mostly damaged, I decided to buy them new ones. We then managed to continue our tradition of having a lantern walk around our neighbourhood. Now that the kids are older, they are walking so much faster! I almost wanted to tell them that it was supposed to be an enjoyable stroll instead of a walking race but then I thought that it might not be a bad thing to speed up the process after all. My battery was already pretty flat by then. *nervous laughter* 





We concluded the evening with sparklers as usual. 


They said they were barbecuing

Joram is simply adorable!

At the end, my eldest decided that the music coming from 4 lanterns was becoming annoying because they were not playing at the same time despite having the same tune. So he coordinated the music by making sure that everyone pressed the start button at the same time. I was duly impressed.
